ESSAY ON: “The Book of Margery Kempe” and “The Wife of Bath” -- Social and Sexual Roles of Women

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: This 7 page report discusses “The Book of Margery Kempe” which is thought to be one of, if not the, first autobiographies in English. The book chronicles the spiritual life of a remarkably unusual and illiterate, medieval woman. Geoffrey Chaucer’s story of “The Wife of Bath” in “The Canterbury Tales” presents an equally unique woman, especially in terms of her railing against the intensely subservient life for the majority of the women of the day. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
