This is a remarkable essay about The Wife of Bath by Geoffrey Chaucer. It talks about the life & legacy of the Wife of Bath in great detail.

“Alison is a character whom readers across the centuries have usually seen as accessible, familiar, and, in a strange way, real. For many people she is by far the most memorable of the Canterbury pilgrims.”
