Women & Power: A Manifesto

In Women & Power, renowned classicist Mary Beard examines the historical and cultural roots of gender inequality, exploring how powerful women have been depicted and treated from ancient times to the present day. She reflects on the ongoing influence of misogyny, the voice of women in public spaces, and the stories that shape perceptions of power and gender. With insights into the #MeToo movement and the narratives surrounding consent and justice, Beard offers a thoughtful and provocative analysis of gender, power, and societal change.
