The Medieval Chastity Belt by A. Classen, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book analyzes the origin of this myth and demonstrates how a convenient misconception, or contorted imagination, of an allegedly historical practice has led to profoundly flawed interpretations of control mechanisms used by jealous husbands. | The Medieval Chastity Belt by A.
