Mujeres y poder: Un manifiesto by Mary Beard

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.5

Trobo les reflexions molt interessants, però és impossible ignorar que Beard escriu aquest llibre des d'una posició més privilegiada que la d'altres dones. Em sembla interessant la manca d'orientació envers discursos de classe i propostes com ara el «terra enganxifós» que afecten les dones a la política, però també a l'Acadèmia. Tot i això és un bon punt de partida per teoritzar sobre l'accés al poder de les dones i per entendre els referents clàssics en què sovint ens emmirallem.

La Seducción by Sara Torres
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

Un llibre pretesament sentimental que no m'ha generat gaire simpatia. La versió audiollibre és molt fluixa perquè la veu que fa servir l'autora és massa monòtona i alhora empalagosa pel meu gust.
