Deutsche Frauen
She was a foreigner born under a different sky unlearned to the habits of our civilization,daughter of a proud and arrogant nation whose neck does not know to bend.She came from Germany this powerful and dominant nation which among the other nations governs all the rest but does not accept to be governed."
Opinion of Greek bishop about German princess in Byzantine 900 years ago.
"She did not like good clothing, she did not use make-up or paint her eyes and showed condemn for the "crazy women" as she called them who prefer the art to the nature."She had a German inflexibility,the non bending national feature and an attitude rather serious and non compromised."
A we see some habits of German women have remained unchanged through the centuries.
