Women and History
"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 or pestilences, in every page;
the men all so good for nothing,
and hardly any women at all -- it is very tiresome:"
Eleanor Tilney and Catherine Morland
in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, (1818).
