Today, January 7, is known as “Distaff Day” in Europe:
In many European cultural traditions, women resumed their household work after the twelve days of Christmas. The distaff, or rock, used in spinning was the medieval symbol of women's work.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distaff_dayHas anyone seen or heard of any references to Distaff Day in poems or old works of literature?
