Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
New York Times BestsellerOne of the Guardian s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century A modern feminist classic. From the internationally acclaimed classicist and New York Times bestselling author comes this timely manifesto on women and power. At long last, Mary Beard addresses in one brave book the misogynists and trolls who mercilessly attack and demean women the world over, including, very often, Mary herself. In Women & Power, she traces the origins of this misogyny to its ancient roots, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that history has mistreated strong women since time immemorial. As far back as Homers Odyssey, Beard shows, women have been prohibited from leadership roles in civic life, public speech being defined as inherently male. From Medusa to Philomela (whose tongue was cut out), from Hillary Clinton to Elizabeth Warren (who was told to sit down), Beard draws illuminating parallels between our cultural assumptions about womens relationship to powerand how powerful women provide a necessary example for all women who must resist being vacuumed into a male template. With personal reflections on her own online experiences with sexism, Beard asks: If women arent perceived to be within the structure of power, isnt it power itself we need to redefine? And how many more centuries should we be expected to wait?
