"The introduction definitely makes the author come across as an insufferable snob with the anecdote about education these days. I'm still hopeful about learning things from the book, despite the author describing the Peace of Westphalia as converting from a time of empires to a time of kingdoms." — Oct 19, 2024 01:09PM

“And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course —those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape ‘kit ‘n’ stuff, But for everybody else, it’s a win-win. Unless you’re a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing’s a disaster.”
