Abstract
In a footnote in Capital, chapter 2: The Process of Exchange, Marx writes:
'In the twelfth century [...], very delicate things often appear among these commodities. Thus a French poet [Guillot de Paris] of the period enumerates among the commodities to be found in the fair of Lendit, alongside clothing, shoes, leather, implements of cultivation, skins, etc., also " femmes folles de leur corps".' The English translator translates this as 'wanton women'; the artist would rather translate it as 'women crazy about their body'.
