Why So Few Women in Power? (ep 2.1)  
Podcast: Her Half of History
Published On: Thu Apr 08 2021
Description: Most of this miniseries will be biographical sketches of a few of the more daring power-grabbers in history. But this initial episode is on why there are so few women in power anyway. I'll take a look at the evidence for more powerful women in pre-history, followed by the impact of the Agricultural Revolution and the rise of city-states.
