The omission of Milov’s name from the segment is particularly egregious because of the relative professional standing of Milov and the two male historians who spoke about her work. Both Connolly and Ayers are tenured professors. Ayers is the president emeritus at the University of Richmond, as well as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in literature and the National Book Award. Milov, on the other hand, expects to be up for tenure sometime in the next year; “The Cigarette: A Political History” is her first book.
