Ashley Turner’s Reviews > In Search of Ancient Ireland: The Origins of the Irish from Neolithic Times to the Coming of the English > Status Update

Excellent book so far. Also, another episode of "hey, Christianity... you kinda weasled yourself into a largely egalitarian society and reworked it to subjugate women before both religion and the law."

For real. Irish women could divorce, keep their assets, pay honor price to bail out their husbands, were warriors, TRAINED warriors, and were deeply important to the artistic and cultural fabric. Thanks, Patrick.
