My first dabble into Beard's extensive backlist. A thought-provoking conversation starter about how women are treated in the political sphere and how it ties to Greco-Roman history. A little dry for a novella, though.

Picks at a couple of themes (it is what it says on the tin) on women and power, very short and readable, but therefore lacking in much detail or nuance.
