RE: Mary Lincoln for the Ages
I think Jason has a valid point. Many people, including some here, seem to believe that Michael Burlingame is somehow guilty of misogyny in his interpretation of Mary, yet no one can ever point to any substantial evidence other than their own bias. While Donna's point about female historians is well-taken (and all too true at times), one must admit that bias, especially where Mary is concerned, is not a one-way street.

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
