"The Wife of Bath's Prologue" is a prologue to the comparatively shorter story "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. The wife of bath's, Alyson, is one of the most developed characters in The Canterbury Tales, with a long back-story of four different marriages. Throughout her marriages, Alyson controls her husbands, dominating them sexually and attacking aspects of patriarchy. The text both employs and refutes aspects of antifeminism prominent at the time.
