...I recall at some point in history that women were often confined to
their chambers if not bed
during their periods...
Something to keep in mind when dealing with topics like this -- another
difference from today is that the vast majority of the population before,
oh, 1900 was rural, not upper class, and most people worked regularly. I'm
not sure that "women", as a whole, could often be confined for several days
of the month.
