Yet different rules applied when the husband killed the wife. Life isn't fair and that's true throughout the ages. What I've found really disturbing is the clergy's involvement in so many injustices.

Women must always be aware of their rights and strive to maintain them. Even in these covid times, in the UK, the bulk of child care and house keeping has fallen on women during lock down.

Not all that much has changed over the centuries. Women are paid less, of lesser value than men in many institutions, and passed over for jobs they qualify for as men get those positions. And yet, the 3 highest IQ's ever recorded were ALL women--yes, higher than Enstein's IQ. Imagine Sarah J.

Powerless people had absolutely no recourse to justice. I was glad to read that women weren't deemed able to murder on their own, so at least when a woman snapped under duress, she found some kind of mercy.
