I think we had a short convo about this and agreed with everything you presented; honestly if you're writing about magic with a setting in history, wouldn't there be SOME changes to the gender hierarchy despite talks of 'authenticity'? There were definitely opportunities to explore the whole relationship with scholarly magic & witch hunts which were missed.
I'm curious, what were the kind of 'anchors' authors usually use to indicate separation of authors' views from the characters'? I've always thought about this and had no idea there were things like anchors, so that's interesting!
