Would you Survive as a Woman in the 1700’s?

#1: Are you over 40?

#2: Did you marry well?

#3: Have you had a kid?

Yes. May we suggest abstinence or prophylactics? Childbirth often left children motherless in 18th century Scotland.
No. Okay, you may still be safe, but no guarantees in life except for…well, you know how the saying goes.

#4: How attached are you to bathing and general sanitation?

Quite a bit – Yikes. You may need to change that. But hey, don’t worry about clean underwear, most women didn’t own proper undergarments anyway.
I can go a few days without a shower – Good. You may have to wait a few months.

#5: How are you feeling right now?

A little under the weather, tbh. Damn, too bad. Medicine in the 1700’s wasn’t exactly an established science quite yet. Need evidence? Blistering was a widely practiced treatment…(don’t ask us why).
Just fine. Nice, You’re still kicking it in the 1700’s. Hopefully for your sake, it stays that way.

#6: Have you ever engaged in any form of witchcraft? (Yes, time travel counts.)

Yes. We’re sorry to let you know the witch trials didn’t just happen in Salem, MA. Scotland had its fair share, too. Is there a spell to save yourself?
No. Okay, you may be safe. But, seriously, some adventure wouldn’t kill you…or would it?

Let’s find out..
