Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whakataukī 'ko te wahine marena hou tonu, ko te wahine marena hou tonu' kāore i te tika mo tetahi whaea 35-tau-tau o nga tamariki tokorua. Ko Lynsey Littlefield te wahine rangatira i te whitu o ngā wā - ā, i herea e ia i te tau 2007. Ko te wahine rangatira e hiahiatia ana mai i Brighton, East Sussex, kua uru ia ki nga huihuinga marena i nga wa maha kua kata ia mo te whakatairanga i ana ratonga hei 'wahine marena mo te utu'.

Engari ko te awhina i te tini o nga hoa me te whanau ki te whakamahere i a raatau huihuinga wahine me nga ra marena kua tae mai ki te utu - kua pau i a ia te £ 7,000 te haere ki nga marena a etahi atu i roto i nga tau 14 kua hipa, he toharite tata ki te £ 400 ia tau.

He wahine rangatira rangatahi ia, he wahine rangatira whakaipoipo, he wahine rangatira marena, he wahine rangatira hapū hoki ia i roto i ngā tau. Ko Lynsey, i marenatia ki a Raniera, 40, i Ibiza i te tau 2007, i kii ia ko ana wheako katoa i waiho ai ia hei tetahi o nga wahine rangatira pai rawa atu.

Mo ia tangata e whakapau ana ahau £50 i runga i te mea o nāianei, £70 i runga i te kākahu, £150 i runga i te haere me te noho, a ki te he pae utu he atu £50. Ka mea ahau e whakapau ana ahau i te £200 ia marena. Engari kaore au i te whakaaro. Me whakarite pūtea ahau, engari he pai ki ahau te mātakitaki i te marena o te tangata.' Ko Lynsey te tuatahi...
