Description
Mary Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny and the ways in which history has treated powerful women, from ancient myth to modern politics.
With wry wit, Beard examines the public voice of women, how we look at women who exercise power, and the cultural assumptions that shape our understanding of women's relationship with power. She draws on her own experiences of sexism and gendered violence to make a powerful case for redefining power in a way that is inclusive of women.
Beard's manifesto is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the ways in which power operates in society, and how we can work towards a more equitable and just world.
