What are some adjectives that best describes the Wife of Bath in the story The Canterbury Tales The Prologue?

women to enjoy marriage for all its benefits: love, sex, money, and
companionship.


She is also advantageous, witty, obviously
seductive, sensually active, incredibly creative with her time, emotionally independent,
fearless, and very outspoken. She takes it upon herself to advice other women on what is
righteous and advantageous to them, and this is because she is one of the few daring
woman to respect her gender as it should be respected by all.
