Answer #1

Chaucer's Wife Of Bath challenges the anti-woman stereotypes in the following ways:

  1. Idea of women having authority on men in a marriage
  2. Women being able to marry younger men
  3. Women being able to marry multiple times
  4. Refuting the claims of celibacy being more virtuous
  5. Having a bold attitude

Chaucer's Wife Of Bath confirms these challenges by

  1. Marrying five times
  2. Marrying younger men
  3. Preparing herself for the sixth marriage
  4. Arguing with her third husband on his accusations
  5. Interpreting church's definition of marriage and virginity to fit her case
  6. Being described as 'brassy' or 'bawdy' by the author - This shows that she was not submissive and wanted an equal position or a position of authority in her marriage, which was not the norm in those days.
