[MR] handling menses in period

[Stefan li Rous]

Berengaria of Leighton Buzzard said:
<<< In some countries there were many activities that a girl/woman could
not participate in during her menses. One that comes immediately to
mind is sausage making in Spain. It was believed that having a woman
participate while she was bleeding would ruin the whole batch.

I'd have to dig into my library - part of which is still at the house -
to give
more examples. I'll try to stop by in the next couple of days to pick  
them
up. >>>

Please do, and post it or send it to me by email.

Or do you or anyone else, wish to write it up as an article for the  
Florilegium?

Thanks,
    Stefan
