The Struggle for the Breeches – battle of the sexes fought in stories

Taking its title from a broadside ballad dating to the seventeenth century, this raucous romp through historical tales deals with discord between the sexes. For as long as there had been marriage, for as long as men and women have shared a home, there has a been a battle being fought for dominance over the household.

Sometimes a delicate dance for power between them, sometimes all out war!

Are men really the strongest Are women really the gentle sex
