Clues

  • 'Status in law generally matched the reality' (6, 3)
  • Joint tenure. This gives considerable rights to married women as husbands are not allowed to alienate land without their wife’s approval. Wives also traded separately from their husbands in land, acting in their own name. (7)
  • Who argued that both men and women rights increased proportionally? (6)
  • Who argues women's rights didn't improve after the Black Death? (4)
  • Women's status in law was far more complex and there was a fundamental gap between the law and practice (6, 2, 3)
