I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.
I'm glad I was never an heiress.
As long as you persecute people, you will actually throw up terrorism.
I realize that I had always in my heart of hearts planned to write a biography of Marie Antoinette.
Her imperturbable self-confidence (Duchesse de Maine) caused Madame de Stael to write that the Duchesse believed in herself the same way she believed in God, without explanation or discussion.
I decided as usual that justice lay in the middle - that is to say nowhere.
