I remember thinking at the time how cool, a break from husband and kids. In a small village chances are the women's periods would sync like they do in workplace settings . Not unreasonable to think they would gather. Maybe in a common dwelling. Interesting. Men control the history narrative so they most likely got it wrong. You think?
