Nuggets from Swift - Female Fight

[lklawson]

OK, just to throw out some interesting stuff to gen discussion, here's one of the first items on the "Chronology" which caught my attention.

1793 Aug. -- Two females, 45 min. (with their husbands for seconds). Chelmsford, Essex.
​

Due to the way he wrote both this Chronology and the first half of his book, the implication (and nothing more) is that this is a Sanctioned fight.

Women's lib started early!

Peace favor your sword,
