The Sefer צאינה וראינה
authored by R. Yakov b Yitzchok Ashkenazi - (1550-1624) was geared specifically for women
who didn't understand Loshon Hakodesh.
It is a collection of beautiful Midrashim and some Halachos in Yiddish.
Up until 80 years ago it was the most popular Sefer (after Siddur &
Tehillim) Yiddish speaking women possessed.
Illiterate women, organized a "Zogerrin". One who
would read the צאינה וראינה for their group.
In a letter promoting the Bais Yakov Schools, the Chofetz Chaim writes,
"the need for
Bais Yakov is also because many women stopped reading the צאינה
וראינה on Shabbos".
The first Mokor (source) where it is mentioned for pregnant women to
bite off from the Esrog is in the צאינה וראינה.
The Mekor Chaim (Bachrach) quotes from the צאינה וראינה to bite off
the עוקץ (not
the Pitum)
The Mekor Chaim also praises this Minhag.
The Minchas Elozor writes, women should not bite off the Pitum on
Hoshana Rabah.
According to Chazal, (.כתובות ס"א) Pregnant women who eat Esrog will have
nice smelling
children (no mention of easy childbirth)
