Historical fictions by male authors normally deal with wars, battlefields or politics which are not my cup of tea. I am trying to be specific so that people who don't have much time to browse through every single thread can just click on a topic if they find it fit their taste. In general I don't browse through threads with just "historical fiction" since majority of the books will be about wars/naval/military battlefields.

I think this is a somewhat legitimate distinction. I would have preferred if the thread title had been something like "Historical fiction about women."
