The wife of Bath

The Wyves Tale of Bathe and prologue are among the best-known of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. They give insight into the role of women in the Late Middle Ages and are probably of interest to Chaucer himself, for the character is one of his most developed ones, with her prologue twice as long as her tale.

But first she shares her opinions on marriage and the role of women with her fellow pilgrims. One of the strongest and most memorable voices in The Canterbury Tales, the Wife of Bath is as amusing as she is enlightening.
