The Changeling Bride...
In The Changeling Bride I wanted to answer many of my own questions about a woman's life in the past. Just how did she handle issues of basic hygiene and reproduction? What did she eat, and what sort of undergarments did she wear? What did she do all day?
I soon discovered that pinning down answers to these questions was about as easy as catching fish with bare hands. I'd come close to finding the information, and then upon closer examination the necessary details would prove not to be present, and my answer would swim away.
I made do with what I could get, much as the heroine of the story must. It only occured to me much later that what life was like at any one point in time must have been as variable then as it is for us now. Many people have Internet access in their homes, many more do not. So must have gone the arrival of the flushing toilet.
