Description
Drawing on two landmark lectures, this incisive work examines the long, complicated history of women’s voices in public life. Moving between the ancient world and the modern political arena, it explores how women have been silenced, dismissed, or forced to conform to deeply rooted expectations about authority and speech. With sharp wit, erudition, and a compelling historical perspective, the book challenges conventional ideas of power and asks what it would take for women to be heard on their own terms.
