I can't recommed enough that all humans read this book. All that's on my mind now is how we can redefine power!

Went to Walmart to return something and that was a bad idea. Hardly any parking and just too many people. I’m not used to it. Guess this is what happens when you get most of your groceries delivered. Anyways, this is such a delish snack! @trufru Reading this book finally! #romanhistory #historynerd #trufru #historybook #marybeard #readabook #abookamonth #selfcare #ancienthistory #currentlyreading #strawberries #chocolatecoveredstrawberries https://www.instagram.com/p/ChfdTugAjqp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Classicist Mary Beard has become a popular TV figure the last years but I’ve been following her work for quite a while.

You don’t have to be Italian, understand the Roman language or even be a history buff to enjoy her programs: “Julius Caesar Revealed” (2020), her latest DVD, is another fine contribution on the old Romans.

She shows how Caesar lives on in today’s world in all sorts of ways: Caesarean sections and the month July, the result of the 365-day calendar he introduced, are called after him etc.

He was the first politician with a combover - take that, Donald! And do you know what “crossing the Rubicon” means? If teenage girls who start dating do that today, they need to know that Caesar did it in 49 BC and the stakes were much higher!

Mary Beard:  Women and power

I would like to start this review with two interesting quotes of Mary Beard’s manifesto. “Public speech was a – if not the – defining attribute of maleness. A woman speaking in public was, in most circumstances, by definition not a woman.” “For a start it doesn’t much matter what line you take as a woman, if you venture into traditional male territory, the abuse comes anyway. It is not what you say that prompts it, it’s simply the fact that you’re saying it.” I get this feeling, anno 2021, we have only made little steps in the right direction. Interesting to read how some woman, like Thatcher, have tried to masculine themselves (by speaking with a lower voice f.i.) to fit their role. Beard connects the stories from ancient history with the time of writing this manifesto. And it is still relevant today. It shows us how male-driven our society still is. Like when you speak about a professor or a doctor, most of us still picture a man. I wonder if this is ever going to change.

When it all gets too much, there’s always #marybeard to distract us with her good-natured enthusiasm for classical #history. #meettheromans is excellent. (at Lochend, City of Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBx3uSj9Qn/?igshid=17d3gssb6wo61
