Diana Gabaldon and the Chamber of Racism

For those of you who haven't read any of Diana Gabaldon's work, here's a (comparatively light) summary of the racism, sexism, and homophobia she exhibits in her work. The seventh book is exempted from this because I haven't read it much.

The premise is all right - Claire Randall, a former field nurse in World War II, is on vacation with her husband Frank Randall in the Scottish Highlands. He wants to talk to a local reverend about a famous ancestor of his, Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall, who coincides nicely with Frank's history mania and was in Scotland at the time of the 1745 Rising.

It gets even more "interesting" when Claire steps through a stone circle and ends up two hundred years back in time. (The stone circle is utilized, backwards and forwards, multiple times.)
