Original Note:
People in ancient Rome and Greece used the term 'virgin' to refer to a woman or (very often) a goddess who was 'independent' and 'autonomous' and not attached or owned by any man. It was much later that the term 'virgin' came to be applied solely to sexual virginity. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/history-and-verity-of-virginity/
