The word wench has been around for hundreds of years, and has both good and bad meanings.As I was growing up all of the females in both my Dad's and my Mom's families were referred to as "wenches". Both families were full blooded Brummies and not from the Black Country.
I recall it being used but a term that has fell out of favor, unless in a period Hollywood movie.
