Shake the bottle hard enough before you drink and its guaranteed that when you flip the lid, soda will explode like surf swept by wind as sea lashes sand. The fact is – a woman cannot be suppressed.
Queen Victoria’s frowning face and her black dress after she lost her Albert stamped the 19th Century.
A harsh morality reached from her throne and tiny shore, all round the world, whispering that sex was evil – and if you did it outside the marriage bed you were surely damned.
Poor women, already in the 18th Century they were plagued with fear, “Does he Love me? Does he not?”
But how could they know? No one dared touch. And so for a hundred years they married men they had not really tried, and then sewed their passion into tight right fabric rings, each prick of the finger a dart of quiet remorse.
