About nations, nationalism and gender in the 19th century. Fascinating stuff-- dealing with a variety of colonized countries and rebellions, where woman participated, the idea of "woman" was used, woman fought, or otherwise participated, the racisms involved (the 'feminization' of males under colonial rule) but then were "written out" of history. Pretty standard woman's study stuff actually.

I bring it up as an example of that idiot not bothering to learn ANY gendered history whatsoever to dumbshit out that bad
