She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

As renowned intellectual historian Darrin McMahon explains in Divine Fury, the concept of genius can be traced back to antiquity, when men of great insight were thought to be advised by demons. The modern idea of genius emerged in tension with a growing belief in human equality; contesting the notion that all are created equal, geniuses served to dramatize the exception of extraordinary individuals not governed by ordinary laws.

A TikTok teenager declares Helen Keller a fraud. A newspaper editorial accuses Robert Goddard of not understanding high school physics. A Broadway critic announces that Tennessee Williams has lost his gift. A federal agent handcuffs Billie Holiday to her deathbed. In each case, the culture performs the same operation: it takes a person of extraordinary achievement, finds a vulnerability, and uses that vulnerability to replace the achievement with an image — the meme, the pigeon man, the wine commercial, the mug shot, the infidel.
