Let's move along, please, and get back on topic.

I do not have a problem how her work was characterized in the book. I do have a problem, however, whether the content of her book was faithfully cited or misrepresented to the point that the origins of crucible steel were attributed to Iran rather than to proper inventors.
This bears direct influence on the topic of our current discussion on wootz.

This thread is not about the origins of crucible steel, nor is it about the book. Therefore, this discussion is off-topic.
