START: I’ll tell you why there are no women historians on TV, it’s because they don’t get carried away for a start, and they don’t come bouncing up to you with every new historical notion they’ve come up with …

END: History is women following behind with the bucket. And I’m not asking you to espouse this point of view but the occasional nod in its direction can do you no harm.
