«Mujeres y poder: Un manifiesto» is a feminist essay by Mary Beard, published by Editorial Crítica in hardback (112 pages, in Spanish).
From Penelope, Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton, Mary Beard traces the roots of misogyny and the demand that women conform to a male pattern. She also analyses the female public voice and, from her own experience of sexism online, proposes redefining power so that women can fit into it.
The book was originally published in English as «Women & Power: A Manifesto», translated by Silvia Furió. It belongs to the Fuera de Colección collection of Editorial Crítica.
For readers interested in feminism, cultural history and the role of women in society.
