Women & power : a manifesto / Mary Beard. - 115 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 19 cm

Mary Beard revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, exploring the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how few powerful women resist being packaged into a male template.
