Sodomy and the Middle Ages

In many ways, women had more freedom and more status in the middle ages than they did in the era from the 15 hundreds up all the way through the 18 hundreds. Some historians have actually argued that the nineteenth century was the real low point for women in the western world. There was disease, much more than we would be used to in a modern western country to day. And you could die of any r of diseases, smallpox, malaria, a at practically any time anywhere in europe.
