Women and Power

TitleWomen and Power
AuthorMary Beard
Call NumberMcNaughton
Location1st Floor McNaughton
RatingRecommended
Book ReviewThis book was formed from different lectures that Beard had given between 2013 and 2017 - and you can definitely feel the oral essay quality to the work. It was fascinating to see the history tied in to current events, but Beard refuses to let the reader take the easy way out and place the blame on history alone. I do wish Beard had talked about intersectionality in the discussion of power, and the topics remained largely superficial due to the brief nature of lectures.
