Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Importance of Women in Anglo-Saxon Times: The Cultus of St. Peter and St. Paul; And Other Addresses The position assigned to women by Tacitus in the Teutonic tribes of which he treats in his history and description of Germany is remarkable. In many of the tribes the chief deity was a goddess, worshipped with very reverential care. Women had much to do with questions of embarking upon war. Their presence on or near the field of battle inspired their men. They received and tended the wounded, and one of Tacitus´s phrases in this connection may be taken to mean that they expected their men to have wounds to be tended. In time of peace the men in some of the tribes left to the women the management and the work of the farms which provided their means of support. It seems clear, too, that while the tribes worshipped a goddess, the men of the tribes ascribed to their women some mysterious force of insight and foresight. "They conceive," Tacitus says, "that in woman is a certain uncanny and prophetic sense: they neither scorn to consult them nor slight their answers."
