Today's ODNB Life of the Day is Margaret Bowker 's biography of Margaret
Roper [née More], (1505-1544), scholar and daughter of Sir Thomas More - of
interest for her high level of education and (re recent list discussions on
instruments of penance) for the detail that she used to wash her father's
hair shirt.
