There were parts of the rest of it which irritated me a lot, though. The author seems to take a dim view of gender--as opposed to women's--history, and between that and certain rather problematic terminology she uses to describe issues of ethnicity ("the [Anglo-Saxons] from the start bred from women of the dominated race" stated by page five?
