Editor's Note:
What is power and who is allowed to wield it? Why is female power so rare and, often, so feared? What can the women who gained power in the ancient world teach us about the contemporary world and our modern ideas of gender, authority, and equality?Listeners will explore these and other questions as they travel back to the ancient world and uncover the stories of remarkable women who overcame a host of barriers to wield power in a male-dominated world. From Egypt and Mesopotamia to China and Rome, listeners will meet women who worked strategically to gain unprecedented influence and will discover how their stories echo through the centuries, offering surprising relevance to our understanding of gender and sexual dynamics today.In Powerful Women Who Ruled the Ancient World, Professor Kara Cooney will share the stories of women who rose to power through ambition, intelligence, skill, and sheer determination. First, take a look at what power actually is—how it is defined, how different kinds of power operate, and why women and men are often viewed differently when power is involved. Then, meet the women of the ancient world who challenged the status quo by grasping for and holding authority. Some names listeners will likely already recognize through their "cautionary tales," such as Cleopatra and Jezebel. Others, though less well-known, will show the different ways it is possible to be powerful. Meet rulers like Empress Lü of China and Hatshepsut of Egypt, rebel leaders such as Boudica of Britain, religious leaders like the Hebrew prophetess Deborah, and more.As listeners will learn, times may have changed since antiquity, but the past has a long reach—and in many ways, our cultural ideas about women and power are surprisingly slow to change.©2020 Audible Originals, LLC (P) 2020 Audible Originals, LLC
