Who are the most powerful women in history? And how can their stories empower us all today? The brilliant Professor Mary Beard shows us who and how, in her own inimitable style, and the wise and witty Natalie Haynes stands up for her favourite Classic women. From Medusa and other mythical lady monsters to warrior queens and divas, we celebrate women and power. Femina victrix!
Mary Beard OBE is Professor of Classics at Cambridge and her latest book is Women & Power: A Manifesto. Natalie Haynes hosts Stand Up For the Classics on Radio 4 and her latest book is The Children of Jocasta. We will have one interval and a signing after. AND A SPECIAL CAMEO!
