Mary Beard addresses the misogynists and trolls who attack and demean women the world over. Here she traces the origins of this misogyny to its ancient roots, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that history has mistreated strong women. As far back as Homer's Odyssey, Beard shows, women have been prohibited from leadership roles in civic life, public speech being defined as inherently male. Beard draws parallels between our 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. With reflections on her own online experiences with sexism, Beard asks: If women aren't perceived to be within the structure of power, isn't it power itself we need to redefine? And how many more centuries should we be expected to wait?
