Description
Chaucer, centuries ahead of his time, gives us his most provocative character yet in his Canterbury Tales. She wears scarlet stockings, kerchiefs weighing ten pounds, red boots, has been on as many pilgrimages as she has had husbands (five) and knows all the remedies of love. And yet, in spite of her ostentatious apparel and behavior, she shares gems of unparalleled wisdom and pragmatism with us.
