Her summary of Herland is just inaccurate, at least it’s not the way i read it ! ( ) Oh Mary Beard! I am so disappointed in you. I love virtually everything else you write. Your knowledge of the world is global and deep. This book however is not. I think this would be lovely for someone who hasn't read anything else, who doesn't know about history, who hasn't grown up over the last 50 years or so. For me, it wasn't anything new. And that made me sad. For those who are thinking about reading this book, do it. Anything by Mary Beard is better than virtually anything else you could read in the nonfiction side of writing. Then, go read her other books. Spend the time. You won't regret it. Mary Beard, feminista comprometida. Mary Beard no es solo la clasicista más famosa a nivel internacional; es también una feminista comprometida y como tal se manifiesta asiduamente en las redes sociales. En este libro muestra, con ironía y sabiduría, cómo la historia ha tratado a las mujeres y personajes femeninos poderosos. Sus ejemplos van desde el mundo clásico hasta el día de hoy, desde Penélope, Medusa o Atenea hasta Theresa May y Hillary Clinton. Beard explora los fundamentos culturales de la misoginia, considerando la voz pública de las mujeres, nuestras suposiciones culturales sobre la relación de las mujeres con el poder y cuánto se resisten las mujeres poderosas a ser sometidas a un patrón masculino. Con reflexiones personales sobre sus propias experiencias de sexismo y agresión de género que ha soportado en las redes sociales, la autora pregunta:si no se percibe que las mujeres están dentro de las estructuras del poder, ¿no es necesario redefinir el poder?
It’s a tonic to encounter a book that doesn’t just describe the scale of a problem but suggests remedies — and exciting ones at that. One solution recommended by Beard — enacted by her, really — is to cheerfully stand your ground. Beard is active on Twitter, where she famously engages with the legion of trolls who pick apart her work, age and appearance. She refuses to quit social media despite abuse that has extended to death threats. “It feels to me like leaving the bullies in charge of the playground,” she wrote on her blog after recent attacks against her. “It’s rather too much like what women have been advised to do for centuries. Don’t answer back, and just turn away.”
Two essays connect the past with the present, tracing the history of misogyny to its ancient roots and examining the pitfalls of gender. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
