Mary Beard is a professor of classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, and the Classics editor of the TLS. She has world-wide academic acclaim, and is a fellow of the British Academy and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her previous books include most recently SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, and the bestselling, Wolfson Prize-winning Pompeii, The Roman Triumph, also The Parthenon and Confronting the Classics. Her blog has been collected in the books It's a Don's Life and All in a Don's Day.
Why the popular resonance of 'mansplaining' (despite the intense dislike of the term felt by many men)? It hits home for us because it points straight to what it feels like not to be taken seriously: a bit like when I get lectured on Roman history on Twitter.
Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Elizabeth Warren. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template.
With personal reflections on her own experiences of the sexism and gendered aggression she has endured online, Mary asks: if women aren't perceived to be within the structures of power, isn't it power that we need to redefine?
From the author of international bestseller SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome.

女性與權力的一份宣言,構成全書的是兩場在大英圖書館的講座。摘錄對現代議會中女性的不在場基本原因的分析:“無論是何種無意識機製導緻瞭這一點,將女性始終排除在權力之外,都是巨大的不正義;而且無論是在技術、經濟還是社會關懷領域,女性的纔能無法得到充分發揮,對我們...
評分 評分 評分這兩篇演講稿中,作者從曆史上的文學作品和現實情境中挑選瞭一些案例,來解釋女性與權力的關係是如何在文化中被構建的,並指明權力的定義本身就已經將女性排除在外。在這樣的情況下,已經在政治、商業領域中成功的女性被視為女強人,她們在無意或有意地扮演一個男性化的角色,...

啊喲,看的時候頭痛好多古羅馬古希臘典故,看完纔發現其實是看過的紀錄片裏齣沒的古典學大佬。兩篇內容不算很多,說是manifesto倒很貼切。指齣何為power(被看到,可改變與話語權比起占據社會金字塔尖更重要)很受啓發。發現後浪19年三月齣瞭譯本。。。
評分作為一個古典學者,作者對於古希臘古羅馬文化中的典故信手拈來,試圖從文化上帶著我們去追溯女性被排除在“權力”之外的根本原因。不僅如此,作者還提齣,“如果女人不被看成處於權力體係中,那麼我們應該重新定義權力,而非重新定義女性。”作者認為像我們現在這樣逐漸推進男女平權是不夠的,而應該從思想根源上改變女性與權力的關係。讀起來沒什麼太大難度。不過我覺得光從文化上去思考男女平等的問題是不夠的,一些更基本的比如生物因素也是很重要的。
評分還是第一次看到Lysistrata的故事,女性通過拒絕做愛來阻止斯巴達的男人們打仗,阿裏斯托芬這什麼腦洞啊,太酷瞭……(可是欲求不滿的男性難道不會更加好鬥麼hhh)

評分作者試圖從西方經典作品中解讀「女性」與「權力」是怎樣被分離開,而這一行為又是怎樣為男性掌權提供瞭「閤理性」,雖然和我要寫的report絲毫沒關係,但是我很喜歡她結構女性沉默與女性權力排除的角度。
