• What were the implications of those medical ideas combined with later chivalric ideals in the formation of attitudes about women’s capabilities and what distinguishes them from men?
• To what extent do you think these attitudes about women still exist today even though our knowledge of biological reproduction has been radically altered in the past 150 years?
