She is provocative in the titles for her talks too. The talk she does with Tracy Borman is called “The wh*re and the Virgin” and is on Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I, I've never liked that title.

I agree, Claire. I understand wanting a provocative title in order to draw in readers/watchers, but when it's at the cost of stereotyping the people you are writing/speaking about (e.g. “The wh*re” = Anne Boleyn), and when people take the title very literally, I think you have to draw the line.
