Women & Power

Women & Power: a Manifesto / Mary Beard, 115 p.

The text of two lectures from 2014 and 2017 by the classicist and author of SPQR, with accompanying pictures.  Generally I don't enjoy reading speech-to-print volumes like this one, but I appreciated this.  Of course, picking apart the mechanisms which keep women out of power is an easy hit for me, and Beard is concise and energetic in her argument.  What's lacking, naturally, is the course of action.
