ncsufoxes I just bought Heather Cox Richardson‘s book. Purpose of Power is good, if you haven‘t read it yet Hood Feminism is really good too. 1w

This book fell a little flat for me. This book is about David, a psychic prodigy who finds out that he is cursed. In desperation, he goes to his ex-boyfriend Rhys and his ex-wife .

This book is powerful. Robert Green is my best writer. He's mysterious. I loved his books, especially this one. He has an amazing and interesting life.

I used it at work. I climbed the ladder from being a newbie to an expert.

If you're struggling to transform yourself. You can use it.

Happy reading.

48 laws of power.

Power | Michel Foucault

If power were never anything but repressive, if it never did anything but to say no, do you really think one would be brought to obey it? What makes power hold good, what makes it accepted, is simply the fact that it doesn‘t only weigh on us as a force that says no; it also traverses and produces things, it induces pleasure, forms knowledge, produces discourses.

“…we are not being straight with ourselves about what we want women in politics for.”

“…I do not want to complain about childcare and the rest getting a fair airing [in legislation]. But I am not sure such things should be perceived as ‘women‘s issues‘”

Sace I fully acknowledge that I might misunderstand the author but I agree. It‘s much easier to dismiss an issue when it‘s labeled as a “women‘s” issue. 7mo
ManyWordsLater @Sace I think what Beard is saying is true gender equality will be when women are included in discussions not because they are women, but because they are people. (edited) 7mo

Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 7mo
bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3
