In Geoffrey Chaucer " The Nun's Priest Tale" a widow who lives with her two daughter in a cottage. survives off her produce and animals in which she holds in her possession. Although her story is different from the previous tales that were read of wives and widow; hers is seen as a peasant woman who lives a simple and humble life, and unlike the peasant girl from the movie "Name of the Rose", the widow did not have to use sexual politics to get food to eat. "No wyn ne drank she, neither whit ne reed", the widow no lavish and expensive living in her life, and although her life was so simple and hard she didn't allow it to keep her down and so she danced to enjoy herself.
