In the second volume of Jankyn's Book of Wikked Wyves, readers of Chaucer get the fullest possible background for understanding his satire on antifeminism in the “Wife of Bath’s Prologue,†and the "Dissuasio Valerii" commentaries extend significantly our understanding of medieval attitudes, in general, toward women and marriage.
