Women & Power A Manifesto

´A modern feminist classic´ Observer ´Brilliant´ Guardian Who gets to be heard in public? Who gets to lead? And why are women still so often told to just ´shut up´?In this groundbreaking modern classic, Mary Beard draws on examples from antiquity to contemporary politics to expose the enduring roots of misogyny. She asks one deceptively simple question: would power look different if women truly had it?Ten years on from #MeToo, as hard-won gains come under renewed pressure around the globe and women continue their fight for freedom, justice and representation, Beard´s manifesto is still urgent. She invites us to question not just who gets a seat at the table - but how to upend the furniture itself.
