When you take enough anecdotes, it begins to look like the only people that REALLY believe women were EVER subjugated are certain clergy who categorically didn't deal with them and modern feminists. My own family history is filled with strong willed women, my wife's history even more so. A quick spin through enduring literature reveals plenty of firecrackers, from Dickensian urchins, to Rosalind in the forest, Lady MacBeth, to Elizabeth Bennett and beyond. Women of will, and strength, and drive are not some new developement, freed from the bonds of the Patriarchality.
