Dana Rubin, author of the book, Speaking While Female, joins Yo to discuss why it's been so hard for women to speak in public historically. They also take a look at why speaking in public can be difficult and Dana offers some advice to help overcome the discomfort. Lastly, Dana (Boomer) offers great insights into how younger generations are leading the way when it comes to speaking up with confidence.   3 Takeaways: 1.   Women have been speaking throughout history – for every effort to silence a woman, women did speak back (and that covers every ethnicity and race) – but we just didn't acknowledge their words, their presence in public. 2.   Public speaking can be difficulty for women even today because of the criticism they can face about how they sound or how they look…but it is changing a bit. 3.   If we don't speak in public and miss out on the practice and experience to get better.   Mentioned in the Episode: Spanish Coach Resigns  Book: Speaking While Female Website & Speech Bank   Related Episode: Ep. 4, What is Power to Women?

Today I'd like to bring you something different from our usual fare of Australian novel's. As I mentioned last week, the summer break is a time when I like to explore ideas and read widely. A short but powerful book I got into was Women and Power from British historian Mary Beard. This book struck me, and the reason I want to share it is for its exploration of how power is entrenched in a given society and particularly the role that language plays in reinforcing power and excluding those who aren't in the inner circle. Mary Beard is a classicist and historian who is known for her work promoting feminist principles. Through her writing, public speaking, and media appearances, Beard advocates for gender equality in the fields of academia and beyond. She has also been a vocal critic of the marginalization of women in the public discourse, and has worked to bring attention to the historical contributions of women to Western civilization.  The book "Women and Power: A Manifesto" comes from a series of lectures that Beard delivered at the British Museum in 2016. Women and Power explores the history of women's exclusion from positions of power and influence in Western society. In the book, Beard argues that women have been systematically excluded from positions of power throughout history, and that this exclusion continues to the present day.  Women and Power takes examples from ancient Greece and Rome, as well as more recent events, to show how women's voices have been silenced and their contributions disregarded.  One of the key themes of the book is the idea that language has played a crucial role in perpetuating the marginalization of women. Beard argues that words and phrases that are commonly used to describe women in positions of power, such as "bossy" or "abrasive", serve to reinforce the idea that women are not fit to lead. She calls for a reconsideration of the language we use to describe women in power, and for a more inclusive and equitable approach to the distribution of power and influence. Across the two essays Beard makes a powerful case for the ways language can be weaponised against those not in power. Implicit in the argument is that those who wield the language of power get to stay in power. This got me for all the reasons that Beard puts forward about the historic marginalization of women, but also for the more far reaching consequences of these arguments. Language is a tool that is constantly called on by those who want to silence their critics Suppression of language was a key strategy of British Colonial invaders wherever they went in the world. Here in this country English is the official language while hundreds of languages spoken by First Nations are at threat or spoken by a dwindling number of people. This materially impacts both the ability of those people to maintain and practice their culture, but also how these people are able to access power in a language not originally theirs. We are currently debating constitutional change to enshrine a First Nations ‘Voice' in the constitution, and yet how many of us can listen to the many voices of First Nations peoples in their own voices and languages? Language and power also materially impacts people living with a disability. Many disabilities impact a person's language development, as well as their ability to put themselves forward to advocate on the terms of people in power. Beard's essay's show us how language has been used throughout history to demonize or diminish women, but these ploys of the powerful are versatile enough to meet all challengers. I'm struck by this every time I'm online or tune into the news; language is a power tool to silence. Towards the end of the essays Beard observes that “Trolls are not particularly imaginative or nuanced and one Twitter storm tends to look much like any other”. Old tricks can be repurposed but always in the service of the powerful. It's something to think about whenever we engage in so called public discourse.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, for the very special 100th EPISODE, we interview one of the world's leading cultural commentators and most important voices in Classics, Professor Dame MARY BEARD!! A specialist in Roman history and art, Mary Beard is Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Newnham College, where she has been since 1984. She is also Professor of Ancient Literature at the Royal Academy, Classics editor of the TLS and a Fellow of the British Academy and International Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. One of the most important writers of our age, Mary Beard has written groundbreaking scholarship, books, documentaries and articles on the subject such as The Parthenon, Pompeii: Life in a Roman Town, Laughter in Ancient Rome, and SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, And more recently, Women and Power: A Manifesto and Twelve Caesars: Images of Power from the Ancient World to the Modern about Roman Emperors in Renaissance and later art, two books which shifted my understanding of the perception and role of women in society today and the nature of power in our Western word … and I couldn't be more honoured to have her on for this very special episode of the Great Women Artists Podcast. In this episode we discuss the women artists in the ancient world, the perception of women from ancient times to the present day – looking at Livia, Melassina, Agrippina, and Cleopatra – and the effect of the depictions of women from the ancient world – Venus, Medusa, Athena, Lilith – and how they filter into society today. -- Twelve Caesars (2021): https://www.waterstones.com/book/twelve-caesars/mary-beard/9780691222363 Women & Power (2017): https://www.waterstones.com/book/women-and-power/professor-mary-beard/9781788160612 Lecture by Mary Beard on women of the 12 Caesars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB7W0UzVP24 Edmonia Lewis The Death of Cleopatra (completed 1876) https://americanart.si.edu/artwork/death-cleopatra-33878 Detail from The House of the Surgeon, a panelled painting in Pompeii (c.50-79 AD) - shows a woman in front of a painted canvas holding a paintbrush and mixing her paints: https://www.theancientartblog.com/post/women-painters-in-antiquity Women artists in antiquity: https://www.theancientartblog.com/post/women-painters-in-antiquity -- ENJOY!

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today we're going to start with a riddle: A father and son get in a severe car accident and are both badly hurt. An ambulance arrives and takes them to separate hospitals. When the boy is taken in for emergency surgery, the surgeon says “I can't operate on him because this boy is my son”.  How is this possible? -- The surgeon is the boy's mother.    Had you heard that riddle before? I remember hearing it as a kid, and my mind was blown when I heard the punchline. The fact that the joke is still in circulation, and that it still flummoxes people, is a commentary on how we view (or don't view) women in positions of power in our society.    Our author today is famed Cambridge University professor  Mary Beard, and in her book Women & Power: A Manifesto, she writes that despite the fact that there are more women in leadership positions than there used to be: “our mental, cultural template for a powerful person remains resolutely male. If we close our eyes and try to conjure up the image of a president or - to move into the knowledge economy  - a professor, what most of us see is not a woman. And that is just as true even if you are a woman professor: the cultural stereotype is so strong that, at the level of those close-your-eyes fantasies, it is still hard for me to imagine me, or someone like me, in my role.”    Before we get into this amazing book, I want to introduce my reading partner today, Louisa Gillett. Welcome Louisa!   Louisa:    Amy: Louisa and I are both in the Masters of Liberal Arts program at Stanford (more about how we know each other)   Could you tell us a bit about yourself, Louisa?               Louisa: Bio My name is Louisa Gillett, I worked as a tv producer and commissioner, and then in government roles as a media regulator, in England until my daughter was about 2, and then we moved from England to California for my husband's work, and it was such a big change for us that I decided to take a break and focus on family life. She's 7 now, and I'm in grad school at Stanford and I also do pro bono media work for some organisations and charities that I really care about. My mother is black -  originally from Nigeria - and my father is a white Englishman, and I grew up relatively unaware of the issues of patriarchy – partly I think because they were masked by race – my mum was a teacher and when she came home exasperated at what she was dealing with – it would be something like a white parent calling her the N word and threatening to set their dog on her when she went round to see why the kid hadn't been coming to school. And whatever consciousness of difference and inequity I had was formed along the lines of those kinds of experiences.   Also, I went to an all girls school from age 6, so there was never a sense of science being a boys subject or anything like that. But I think the diminished expectations of women are part of the cultural water we all swim in, even when we don't really know it. And I do remember that by the time I got to the end of my time at University, I was pretty clear that I needed to think and talk and write like a man in order to be really successful –and I remember having a big argument with a gay male friend of mine, who thought that was a betrayal of my self, and feeling really unconcerned by it. It was just how it was.       Amy: And I also like to ask my reading partners what “breaking down patriarchy” means to them, or why you were interested in doing this episode.   Louisa: Response   Well in adult life, especially in the workplace, I noticed that women were vulnerable in a way that men simply weren't – men started a family and got a pay rise as they were stepping up, women went on maternity leave and found themselves being edged out on their

This week we dig deep into our culture and the stories we tell or chose not to tell. Women in the stories of early Rome were there but are almost absent in the teaching of its founding. Is it possible it's because rape permeates these stories? Would talking about rape and the historic examples allow us to address the present challenges presented by these topics? We learn about the kidnapping and rapes of women at the outset of the Kingdom of Rome and Lucretias rape at the hands of Sextus to end the Regal Period. Women were always there, you just have to be brave enough to teach it.

Beginning in San Francisco in 1981, the era of punk and nascent gay pride, Rebecca Solnit’s latest book Recollections of My Non-Existence (Granta) is a powerful memoir of growing both as a woman and an artist, drawing on the powers of literature, activism and solidarity in the face of an apparently unbreachable patriarchy. The struggle to find a voice and to find a way to make that voice heard are brilliantly captured and dissected by one of feminism’s, and indeed the world’s, foremost thinkers. Rebecca Solnit was in conversation about her life and work with historian Mary Beard, whose most recent book is Women & Power: A Manifesto.

Hello everyone and welcome to the 51st episode of The Shift. Listen in as host Doug McKenty discusses Nietzche and Anarchy with Tanner Cook, author of Liberty and the Will to Power: A Manifesto for the Amoral Libertarian. This episode makes a great compliment to last weeks conversation about Agorism with Derrick Broze. In this new book, Tanner revisits the classic arguments for anarchy, including the non-agression principal and natural law, with a post Neitzchean analysis that recognizes the fact that logic and reason do not apply in a world defined by state power. This conversation will be interesting to those who know Neitzche's philosophy as well as those who are not familiar with his work as Doug and Tanner touch all the bases and explore complex subject matter in a way that can be understood. In contrast to Derrick Broze, who uses Eastern and Indigenous philosophies to explain his path to freedom, Tanner Cook utilizes this decidedly Western philosopher's path to personal liberation to come to the same conclusions. Find more about Tanner's work at Tanner Cook on Facebook and Instagram, and look up Liberty ad the Will to Power on Amazon.com.

Mary Beard is Britain’s best known classicist. Widely admired for her scholarship and popular television programmes about the ancient world, she is also one of this country’s most prominent feminists. By refusing to be cowed by the misogynistic trolls who have abused her on Twitter, she has become a heroine for our times.On June 7th Beard comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to talk about the themes of her No. 1 bestselling book Women and Power: A Manifesto. Examining misogyny’s deep cultural roots, she will explore the ways in which women have been excluded from power for thousands of years. Take the decapitated, snake-haired head of Medusa in Greek mythology – seen by Freud as a castrator figure. It has been used recently to demonise Theresa May, Angela Merkel, and in the 2016 presidential campaign Hillary Clinton, who appeared in a meme as Medusa, with Trump holding her severed head aloft. The message? That the ultimate way to silence a woman is to kill her. Beard will also highlight a passage in Homer’s Odyssey, some 3,000 years old, where Penelope’s son tells her to shut up and go back to her spinning and weaving because speech is ‘the business of men.’ Muted women, men as aggressors: the injustices that the #MeToo movement is addressing are millennia old.So how do we combat misogyny in all its forms? Is the kind of collective action we have seen recently in the Women’s March and #MeToo going to effect the change longed for by so many? Should women who seek political power simply accept the status quo and follow the male template, or do we need a radical rethink of the entire nature of power and spoken authority?Beard explored these urgent questions, in conversation with lawyer and campaigner Miriam González and radical commentator Laurie Penny, with writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch in the chair.

She Said / She Said: Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit (2004, repub 2016) Hope in the Dark was written (in 2004) to counter the despair of radicals at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them--and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable.

In this week's show we are talking about the Eight of Cups and the sacrifice of Iphigenia. The eight of cups represents stagnation, knowing when to bail! Running away from a situation that isn’t working for you, but it is giving you the permission to do so. The sacrifice of Iphigenia is a story about how the leader of the Greek army, Agamemnon, had to sacrifice his daughter so that the army could set sail to Troy to retrieve Helen.
