Women & Power

In "Women & Power," Mary Beard, an internationally acclaimed classicist and New York Times bestselling author, confronts the pervasive misogyny that women face today, drawing connections between historical injustices and contemporary societal challenges. She explores the roots of gender discrimination and the exclusion of women from leadership roles, tracing these themes from ancient mythology to modern political figures. With personal anecdotes and sharp analysis, Beard calls for a redefinition of power and challenges cultural perceptions that limit women's voices, urging a necessity for change that cannot afford to wait.
