Classical stories about women who wield power, from the Amazons to Dido to CleopatraIn this fascinating anthology, ancient women threaten male power by stepping into the roles traditionally held by men. They command armies, exercise sexual autonomy, speak in public, issue laws and subject others (even masculine heroes and citizen men) to their control. All of these stories were written by men and none of them can be read as affirmations or celebrations of women in power. Instead, their sexist attitudes continue to justify women?s exclusion from power.

Yet despite the fear and suspicion the male authors direct toward these women, we can find much to admire in their tales, from the coordinated action of the women of Aristophanes?s Assemblywomen, to the righteous anger of Boudicca against sexual violence by men in power, to the successful resistance of Amanirenas against Rome?s colonial expansion. Read differently, these tales testify to the long history of women in power and suggest new paths for female empowerment.

Calidad de las camisas
Color: A White, Size: Medium
I had already bought one shirt, so this time I bought two more. The light blue one is the same quality as the one I bought the first time. But the white one wasn't the same quality. It was also a different shade of white. They should try to maintain consistent quality across the board.

Won't let me give one star. AVOID THESE SHIRTS
Color: Dark Blue, Size: X-Large
They look okay on first wearing but after washing, you can't get the wrinkles out even with an iron. Sorry I bought these. Won't again. Really, the worst shirts I have ever bought.

Perfect fit
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I bought 2 shirts for summer and have already worn, washed and dried them. They truly are wrinkle resistant. I'm a 6-ft 175 lb male and Large fit me perfectly. The quality seems good, especially for their price.
