For adults..\nht tps://lacountylibrary.libnet.info/event/15760697 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

For Women's History Month\, we will discus s Mary Beard's feminist manifesto\, \;Women &\; Power.

\n

Mary Beard traces the origins of \;misogyny to i ts ancient roots\, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that hist ory has mistreated strong women since time immemorial. As far back as Home r&rsquo\;s \;Odyssey\, Beard shows\, women have been prohibited from l eadership roles in civic life\, public speech being defined as inherently male. \;With personal reflections on her own online experiences with s exism\, Beard asks: If women aren&rsquo\;t perceived to be within the stru cture of power\, isn&rsquo\;t it power itself we need to redefine?

\n

Copies of the book will be available at the circulation desk. The program will take place in the Chicano Resource Center. Space is limited to ten p articipants\, so pick up your copy soon!
