Until about 1970, anyone who wanted to write a comprehensive history of medieval English law as it actually affected women would have found a dearth of published books or articles concerned with specific legal topics relating to women and derived from extensive research in actual court records. ββββ ββ β βββββββ βββββββββββ βββββ βββββ βββββββ βββ ββ βββββ ββββββββββ ββ βββββββββββ βββ βββ βββ ββββββββ ββββββββ ββββββ ββ βββββββ ββ βββ βββ βββ βββ ββββββββ ββ ββββββ ββββ ββ βββββββ ββ ββββββ βββββ βββ

Anti-supported. The author describes this potential difficulty but actually says that this difficulty βseems actually to have deterred few.β The author then goes on to discuss the real reason we have a lack of relevant scholarship.

This isnβt the reason discussed in P2 regarding whatβs responsible for the current deficiencies in our knowledge of womenβs legal history. Treatises and commentaries were mentioned in P1 in connection with nineteenth and early twentieth scholars. They are not connected in P2 to modern historians and their lack of interest in studying how women were actually affected.

This isnβt the reason discussed in P2 regarding whatβs responsible for the current deficiencies in our knowledge of womenβs legal history. Also, the author notes that thereβs a lack of quantitative studies into how women were actually affected by medieval law. These arenβt the same as studies that provide a βcomprehensive overview of womenβs legal historyβ (which would include laws both before and after medieval laws). So (E) misdescribes the kind of studies that the author identities as scarce. Weβre just concerned with how medieval laws affected women, not a comprehensive overview of womenβs legal history.
