Women & Power: A Manifesto by Mary Beard

4.0

Honestly we should be reading this in Literature classes as a preface for the works that will be subsequently read. It’s a quick read (I read it in one sitting), but it sheds so much light on how Western societal structures operate. The things we’re told are “innate” about the sexes are often taught, albeit long ago, and a definition of power that functions for only half (less than half, technically) of the population is not a functional definition at all.
