A good starting point into interesting feminist topics. I especially enjoyed the part of the "Public Voice" of women and how it's able to be related to ancient times. I greatly appreciated Beard's thoughts on the #MeToo movement at the end of the book and how she puts them into the bigger picture of the book. These are well written speeches and Beard herself acknowledges that they aren't as fleshed out as they could be but I wish they had been! The length they're now, it all just feels like a very long introduction.

“It means, above all, thinking about power as an attribute or even a verb, not as a possession”

Very interesting essay but I'm not sure there's enough content that it merited standalone publishing.
