It's refreshing to see someone regard the treatment of women in the Middle East and Central Asia as a warning of how Western countries could devolve treat women, rather than as a way of othering the cultures (many of whom were much healthier before outside interference) over there.

Every time someone portrays a principle Margaret Thatcher preached as something she was actually working towards, a brain cell dies. I keep seeing British people doing this. Disappointing. You seem unable to understand that she was *using* the rhetoric of freedom to promote her agenda, not that she *actually* promotes freedom. You make it sound like freedom is bad because Thatcher said it was good.

Switching from percent to page number, as I've read the chapters I'd skipped so far. The ones that I didn't think would be relevant have the author's insight into the historical figures' dynamic effects. It's all easy to read anyways. One part has been disturbing enough to make me take a break, but that was a part about an author, not a part I was considering skipping.

Recording percent so far because I skipped the first two warrior babes and went straight to authors. Once I got to Aphra Behn, I found out this book is fun! So fun that when I saw that Caroline Herschel is a scientist, not an author, I thought, "Why not? Scientists are important." I'm still deciding whether to only read the chapters on scientists and authors but I expanded once and I'll probably read the whole book
