What does Alison (the Wife of Bath) mean when she reveals that after their big fight, her fifth husband (Jenkin)
"gave me all the bridle in my hand"?
He returned control of her wealth and property to her.
O He let her drive the wagon to church from that day forward.
He encouraged her to be on top during lovemaking.
O He removed the "brank," or bridle, that prevented her from speaking.
O He counts playing "horsey" among his bedroom pleasures.
