My current freelance project is a history of American Democracy. FWIW, the first time a woman appears who is neither wife, mother, nor object of sexual scandal? Page 313. And she is first referenced as "the Scots-born chestnut-haired 'Priestess of Beelzebub'." As it turns out later, she is actually a rather interesting political radical. But may I add that in all these pages, the author has referenced a man's hair color exactly once.

I'm not, you know, *surprised* or anything.
