They switched drivers at a road side turnout, and she settled into her reclined seat, wrapping her blanket tight around her shoulders. She gazed up at her husband, who was studying the darkening road over the steering wheel, as though it was a puzzle he needed to sort out. His furrowed brow cast a shadow across his eyes that gave him a psychopathic look, hunting for another victim. She giggled at the ridiculous image.

Many of his works contain vivid portraits of a vast spectrum of people and professions, but perhaps most interestingly he created portraits of women characters that broke away from the mold of the literary tradition and social context of his time. By focusing on Chaucer’s portrayal of women in “The Prologue of the Wife of Bath,” “the Parliament of Fowls,” and Troilus and Criseyde, this paper examines his use of parody, and additions to literary traditions and traditional texts. Contextualizing the proto-gender theory of his time, the popular literary traditions that preceded and coexisted with his, and the factual historical treatment and existence of women, this paper detects certain methods through which Chaucer creates verisimilitudinous women. Although the exact intentions with which Chaucer wrote his women is lost to history, it is easy to see that Chaucer intentionally wrote a few of his women characters in such a way as to break with the tradition of his time and provide a voice to an otherwise voiceless community, and liberate his women from the bonds of literary tradition.

An extremely promising candidate material for the building of these structures is concrete made using Martian soil as the aggregate and Sulphur as the cement. This Martian Concrete is strong, and would be more durable in Mars' weaker gravity, more reusable than regular concrete, and significantly dense 1 , enough to provide a measure of protection from the radiation found on Mars' surface, which is moderately more pervasive than the radiation on Earth's surface. Building these structures by hand would be inefficient and costly, taking time away from other important and urgent activities. The advent and proliferation of 3D printing in Earth based architecture holds many possibilities for application off-world. Since 3D printing technology is advancing and often providing cheaper ways of building many different types of structures of virtually any design. By adapting and redesigning some of the plans and ideas presented for 3D printing structures on the Moon 2 and conceptualizing architecture that would be better suited for the Martian environment, it is possible to build adequate and lasting structures quickly and cheaply using materials found in abundance on the Martian surface. As numerous projects advancements in 3D printing in architecture and construction have demonstrated 3 , 3D printed structures are safe, sound, and easily made. Combining existing technology and Martian Concrete will be the best and most sustainable way to build habitats on Mars.
