Women & Power: A Manifesto by Mary Beard
3.5
A quick read, perfect for fans of feminist retellings of Greek mythology who want to understand more about the portrayal of women in the ancient classics and the impact that this has had on Western culture.
This was well written, easy to follow and interesting, albeit a bit more surface level than I'd expected. I'd have loved to read more in depth thoughts from Beard on several of the points made, but she does acknowledge this in the author's note. It has me intrigued to read more around this subject.
