A History of Women in the West: From ancient goddesses to Christian saints | 
"But history, real solemn history, I cannot be interested in. Can you?"
"Yes, I am fond of history."
"I wish I were too. I read it a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences, in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all-it's very tiresome." Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey
