The Celtic people have long been an enigma to the world for their historically independent- thinking minds and for their kind of natural mysticism. The Celts have also been known for their tendency for both their progressivism as evidenced in their early law codes, and for their conservatism as seen in their attachment to native pagan traditions in the face of pervasive Christianity. There is much scholarly debate as to which historical observer has told the most reliable accounts of the Celts or which literature retains the most accurate portrayal of Celtic life.
This is especially true of ancient Celtic women. The body of literature that we have was "tainted" by Christian monks and subject to Christian moralizing. Observers, who were usually members of the conquering people, were often woefully inaccurate in their interpretation, using their experience as a lens through which they viewed the Celtic people and as a measure of what was "acceptable" and what was not.
