Title: Off with Her Head: Three Thousand Years of Demonizing Women in Power

Author: Eleanor Herman

Narrator: Erin Bennett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:57:34

Language: English

Release date: 09-06-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, World, Social Science

Summary:

New York Times bestseller Eleanor Herman, author of Sex with Kings and Sex with Presidents, returns with another work of popular history, exploring the history of misogyny against women with power from Cleopatra to Kamala Harris.

Imagine Donald Trump as a woman, called Donna. Would Donna Trump have been viewed as blunt, honest, and refreshing? Would she have won the election?

Imagine Hillary Clinton as a man. Howard Clinton says and does the exact same things as Hillary. Would Howard Clinton have been portrayed in a thousand Pinterest images as a witch, stirring a cauldron or riding a broomstick? Would he have been called a bitch on countless T-shirts? Would his thoughtful, circumspect answers to media questions have been seen as inauthenticity, secretiveness, and untrustworthiness?

There is a particular kind of ragelets call it unadulterated bloodlustusually reserved for women, especially women in power or vying for it. From the ancient world, through the European Renaissance, up to the most recent U.S. elections, the Misogynists Handbook, as Eleanor Herman calls it, has been wielded to put uppity women in their place.

In a story that is shocking, eye-opening, and a powerful force for change, Eleanor Hermans signature wit and humor explores the patterns that have been operating for more than three thousand yearsand are still operating todayagainst powerful women across the globe, including Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and more.

Each chapter analyzes a tried-and-true misogynistic method to keep women down, including: Her Overweening Ambition, Why Doesnt She Do Something About Her Hair?, The Dangers of Female Hormones, The Alarming Shrillness of Her Voice, The Mysterious Unlikability of Female Candidates, Shes a Bitch and Other Animals, Shes a Witch and Other Monsters, and Her Sexual Depravity. Herman ends the book by looking forward, examining ways to rip up the Misogynists Handbook once and for all.

Summary:

AN NPR BOOK-OF-THE-DAY A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STAFF PICK  A NYLON MUST-READ  A FORTUNE NEW BOOK TO READ IN AUGUST

And, at the center of it all, am I actually nice or am I just performing a role I think Im expected to play? Mia Mercado is a razor-sharp cultural critic and essayist known for her witty and hilarious dissections of the uncomfortable truths that rule our lives. In this thought-provoking collection of new essays, Mercado examines what it means to be polite, agreeable, and nice. She covers topics from the subtleties of the Bad Bitch and why women dominate the ASMR market, to what makes her dog an adorable little freak and how you know if youre shy. This is a book about the unspoken trick mirror of our good intentions: the inherent performance of the social media apology, celebrating men when they do the bare minimum, and why we trust a Midwesterner to watch our stuff when we go pee.

Throughout, she ponders her identity as an Asian woman and asks what nice even meansand why anyone would want to be it. With writing that is as precise as it is profound, and cultural references that range from trash reality television to the New York Times Sunday-morning crossword puzzle, Mercado uncovers weird, long-overdue truths about our frailties and failings. In the end, she sees them not as a source of shame but as a cause for celebration. Filled with revelations that range from the silly to the serious,

Shes Nice Though offers a mind-bending glimpse into the illusions and delusions of contemporary lifeand reveals who we *really* are when no one is watching.
