Penance for a Crime

Women were blamed for child mortality within the familiar a circles. We have specially prescribed penance for women who are thought to have caused thea death of their own children. The other thing that appears, that i discuss in that section of the book is what is prostitution? And we start received the first notions about in the later middle ages. Normally, what i think happened during most of the middle ages is that there were hardly any jewish women involved in prostitution. But as we move to the fourteenth and fifteenth century,. this changes dramatically.
