Off With Her Head: Three Thousand Years of Demonizing Women in Power
New York Times best-selling author Eleanor Herman in her newest book explores the patterns that have been operating for more than three thousand years—and are still operating today—against powerful women across the globe, including Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and more. Each chapter analyzes misogynistic methods to keep women down:
