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?

很小的一本书,内容是作者两次公众演讲的整理。论述结合了西方古典案例和很多现实案例和议题,严肃而不失幽默。我意识到这种文体用英文读起来很流畅,翻译成中文却不容易,很容易流失风格。感觉本书翻译至少做到了准确,已经很不错了。不习惯读论文的人可能要适应一下,可能需...
評分 評分1 读大学时,我选修了一门《性别研究》课程。然而,选修这门课的初衷并非对“性别研究”的主题有多大的兴趣,而是带着“追星”的目的去的——因为开设这门课程的是骆晓戈教授,她曾经主编的《小溪流》杂志以及创作的儿童文学作品是我童年的最爱之一。 没想到,多年以后有缘能在...
評分 評分女性与权力的一份宣言,构成全书的是两场在大英图书馆的讲座。摘录对现代议会中女性的不在场基本原因的分析:“无论是何种无意识机制导致了这一点,将女性始终排除在权力之外,都是巨大的不正义;而且无论是在技术、经济还是社会关怀领域,女性的才能无法得到充分发挥,对我们...
如果我是導演想要現代地詮釋Telemachus的行為,我會覺得是齣於一種保護。我就一直覺得Penelope's bizzare lack of voice下有更多的內容。
评分讀瞭。從古希臘的角度講女性話語權等,是很有趣的切入角度。講雅典娜女神的男性特徵時竟然解答瞭許多我在建築史裏的疑惑。
评分兩篇演講的講稿。迴溯到西方經典的源頭,探尋最初西方社會文化模闆的成型,如何至今影響到人們對於女性、公共錶達以及權力的想象。非常舒服的行文,清晰明確,有節製,還有幽默感,古典文本與時事新聞中的案例信手拈來,讀的很痛快。

评分Beard did a wonderful job to make Classics relevant to today's social-political dynamics. Her references to the passages in Odyssey, Lucretia, and many others help me see the valences of the texts. Women's voice are not so stifled nowadays, but women still receive more acerbic comments and quick negligence. Approval from men is innately a problem.
