Her comment about "My simple intelligence will allow" was her telling her readers "Men are fond of saying women have a "simple intelligence" , so I will now show you what MY simple intelligence is like, and you be the judge". That is the beauty of the written word, you can't shout it down, you can't wave your hands, you can't ignore it and you can't distort it. Her words defend themselves, and if she was wrong, she lets her readers judge.
@@R-Lee- I have read English Literature, deeply, for 51 years. I have often read both the works of early English authors, but more importantly, read them in the context of critical comparison of their historical significance, read them in the course of university studies. And when you read people like, for example, Wollstonecraft, Mill and Bhen, you get to recognise certain things. One, they had a justified high opinion of their own intellect in relation to what men thought of them. Rather then merely being their equal, the best of the female writers were clearly the superior of most male writers of the time. Naturally, because to have gained a voice then at all, male or female, was a mark of distinction, but the women first had to have a real talent and a real determination, or their fathers simply said "Nonsense, you won't be embarrassing ME, my girl !". Two, they were REALLY up against difficult times if they were too aggressive, they didn't have the right to be considered, or to have their works considered, the equal of men. Any aggressive approach would be stillborn , all the men would have shouted them down with "Unnatural woman ! Contending with your masters !". We actually have proof of that by the way, it was something frequently leveled against any woman who tried to gain a place in the world of science or literature. Three, a way of disarming their critics long enough for them to PROVE their equality, was this very thing I see her do, lead off with a "Well, of course I have neither the education nor the "natural advantages" of a man" . . . and then proceed to lay out their well thought out, cogently argued, and correct reasoning. Any man who was blindly against women being educated ( the majority at the time ) was going to ignore her anyway, not read it. The men who did, have her modest appeal for them to ignore her being a woman, and to judge her simple reasoning. It was so common in English women's writing that it NOT being in their preamble would be curious. It was common, because they needed to first disarm the male indignation at a woman using up valuable ink and paper. tl:dr Not technically, no, but my experience is vast and I think I am right.
yep! I learned this shopping for a gift card decades ago. it was of a classic painting with nuns fishing. said it in the caption on the back. But you provided way more impressive information I didn't know about her. new subscriber #79
A very interesting video . Remember that anglers back then just had a pole and line , so could not give line to a large fish . They must have been very skilled . The only fish I know that loves thundery and hot conditions is the eel . Thanks again
This is a beautiful video, and we can tell your place is right behind that camera. You come forth with immaculate vibes. Please don't stop :) Good luck, love from Italy
I just happened upon this page, and wow! Everything I love about fishing. I use vintage reels, and lures, and baits, and employ traditional methods (as much as I subscribe to the theory of evolution, I dont believe that last seasons lures and methods, become redundant because the fish have become wise to them - evolution is a long term proccess, otherwise we, the human race would have realised by now that war is counterproductive, and futile. Hey ho) this is a great find for me. I read old angling books too, and I've seen this book, but never read it. Thanks for your very informative introduction to it, I shall get a copy. Raymondo.

@@Stacksz745 Thats great to hear, it would be interesting to try some of her tactics on the exact fish she talks about. Thanks for watching and for the sub!
This was fascinating. I always wondered what they used for fishing line in the past but horse hair is so obvious that I can't believe I didnt think of it. 😄
Always loved this book. Theirs several other medieval manuscripts that go into greater depth with discussing making artificial lures, but the names allude me right now. Also a lot of Chinese manuscripts from the the 1200s that discuss the earliest examples of fishing reels.
@@stevescuba1978 trying to find it, but one of the first known illustrations of a fishing reel was painted by Ma Yuan in 1195 in their painting "Angler on a Wintry Lake"
Nice informative Video. Did this Lady figure it all out by herself? Maybe she was the first one who wrote it down. People are Fishing since thousands of years. Of cause they were much more passionated about it, because they needed to. There were no Fishdealers wirth tons of Ice and fresh Fish for sale, salted, smoked or dried maybe, but fresh Fish...Theres so much knowledge being lost simply because nobody wrote it down or it was detroyed. People are dying and their knowledge with them if nobody is there to learn from them. I would love to build a fishing gear after her instructions and go angling with it. I Bet there are some very old japanese Documents about angling too. In Japan there is a fishing style where they use pole rods made from wood and wear traditional japanese clothes. Its a kind of mixture between pole angling and meditation, forgot the name, but there is a very interesting video on youtube about making these rods.
Killer video man! I thought that angling with ron and reel was a relatively new sport, coming popular aroung the time that monofilament line was invented in the 1930s
I believe she is tying a lure to the foot of any waterfoul. Then the fowl swims around and the kicking about. The action of the fowl should attract a fish. It would be hilarious. Just got to get a swimming thing that can fly.
Hello, very intersting video on a novel and original subject, but If I may, the background music is sometimes way too loud and it makes it a bit hard to watch/listen
No, shes absolutely correct about gatekeeping. Wandering into public land/water access and not caring about preservation and courtesy is getting more common and has been a serious detriment for most of us who DO care. Not everyone deserves to use our "public" resources because they don't all have the intelligence or empathy to treat these resources properly. How do you lose access or resources altogether? allow any and all locals to go about, encouraging "all" peoples to enter and use. Especially in more urban areas, overcrowding, littering, poaching, discourtesy, it has gotten too rampant and now, because many of these urban access sites have been ruined, the ruinous masses have began spilling out into the countryside with their hundreds of feet of discarded line on the banks, lure wrappers, and of course plastic worm cups at EVERY SINGLE SITE. It didn't use to be as much of a problem, but as populations and the popularity of the sport rises, it will only get worse. We NEED to, if we are to have these resources around for future generations, be more selective with who we permit to use our precious resources unless we want to see them vanish. I don't believe in putting feelings before fact, and warm dreamy talk about "equal access for all" does not do anything to counter the abuse and destruction that is now rampant. Our governing bodies who steal our paychecks do not care for preservation as long as they receive their money, and so they have no true incentive to enforce the rules that were meant to protect our resources. We cannot allow this lack of enforcement to be the solution, because it will never be anything other than a hindrance to those of us who work and care to preserve. For the "public" entities who "control" these resources, its always about money. For the commoner who gives no thought to the preservation or courtesy, it's about short term convenience. The great environment does not belong in the hands of these careless people. We need to be more selelctive.
I'm sorry, but they have been fishing with hooks and teaching it in books long before the history of this country. It can be found in ancient harvesting scrolls.
Great video . I wish somehow there was a video of her demonstrating these instructions , not only for the demonstration but also because , in my mind this woman is amazingly beautiful . She seems perfect in almost every way . She tied the goose to a pickerel lol . The whole liberal , feminized world would cancel this nune but I would fist bump her once I stopped laughing. No wildlife was injured or killed in the making of my dream fantasy lol .
We all have a god-given right to recreational fish for food fun therapy. But' we are forced into buying the right to fish via a recreational fishing license which is nothing more than a permission slip, as fishermen why do we allow this stop bying in to lie that the money collected goes towards keeping our waters clean, how many signes have you seen saying Danger don't eat fish from this river ? Help me abolish the recreational fishing licenses/ permission slips
Lots things are different from American fishing, she is right all big fish are caught on bottom in uk, carp tench bream, I fish wild lake in uk, if the fish see you it’s hard to catch, I have to hide from the carp, too wise. Low pressure is best for carp, heavy rain is great for carp bream tench
