Mary Beard's "Women and Power" - Theory & Philosophy

What this episode covers

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In this episode, I present Mary Beard's "Women & Power." The strength of Beard's text is her genealogical account of women being silenced throughout our history. I also try to simultaneously justify and challenge some of the liberal feminist notions that are present in this text.
