The
Changeling Bride...
In The
Changeling Bride I wanted to answer many of my own
questions about a woman's life in the past. Just how
did she handle issues of basic hygiene and
reproduction? What did she eat, and what sort of
undergarments did she wear? What did she do all
day?
I soon
discovered that pinning down answers to these questions
was about as easy as catching fish with bare hands. I'd
come close to finding the information, and then upon
closer examination the necessary details would prove
not to be present, and my answer would swim
away.
I made do
with what I could get, much as the heroine of the story
must. It only occured to me much later that what life
was like at any one point in time must have been as
variable then as it is for us now. Many people have
Internet access in their homes, many more do not. So
must have gone the arrival of the flushing
toilet.
