Alex, I was confused by your comment. But not because you are pointing out the rights of women in history to someone who writes books and essays about the rights of women in history.

No, I didn't know how one "watches" a box set. I didn't realize that a box set could refer to a tv series.

Yeah, so I don't watch tv. Ever.

Like I tell my students, if you want to understand the hearts and minds of men, you have to read the literature written from the hearts and minds of men - Wilde, Kipling, Proust, etc. These men give you a birds eye view to the gender norms that shaped their world.
