On Hammond's coining of this term, see Scala, Elizabeth (2009). The Women in Chaucer's 'Marriage Group'. Medieval Feminist Forum. 45 (1): 50—56. doi:10.17077/1536-8742.1766. Scala cites Hammond, p. 256, in support, and points out that Kittredge himself, in his essay's first footnote, confesses that "The Marriage Group of the 'Canterbury Tales' has been much studied, and with good results" (Scala, p. 54).
