Women and Power is an interesting insight into the way that Western culture structurally denies women access to power and a voice. I found the focus on language particularly compelling, however I would have liked to see Beard examine some of her suggestions for dissolving these traditions in a little more detail. That being said, this short book packs a punch and provides valuable definitions and recognition to the lived experiences of women, supplying enough information to encourage further research and thought about the topics Beard introduces.
