informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.5

This is a short lecture about women in power, it is more on Egypt then anything else but the opening gives a good idea on what women face when trying to hold roles of power in the past and modern world. Some of witch I didn't think about but is very true other I could never find the words to describe the difference on when a male runs for a seat of power then when a female runs for that same seat.

The one thing that became evident was that she would say, 'as you see' or various other forms that clearly showed this was a lecture that had slides that would be helpful but she did explain well enough to where that wasn't as big of a deal. You got the idea of her point.

At the end I found this being less then an hour long was to short for me and wanted to hear more or take one of her classes. But I am happy to see she has written 3 books about Egypt and 2 have to deal with women rulers from the title.
