Women & Power: A Manifesto

Addressing the misogynists and trolls who mercilessly attack and demean women the world over, Women & Power traces this misogyny to its ancient roots, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that history has mistreated strong women since time immortal. 

Drawing illuminating parallels between the cultural assumptions about women’s relationship to power and how powerful women provide a necessary example for all women who must resist being vacuumed into a male template, Women & Power also offers personal reflections on Beard's own online experiences with sexism as she attempts to determine whether it isn't the notion of power itself that needs to be redefined.
