I know only too well - I lived through it all! Even so, things were vastly better for women in the 1960s and 1970s and onwards than they were in earlier times. At least we did have some rights. In AB's time, women and children were the possessions of men - their fathers, their brothers in the absence of a father, and then their husbands.
