由於 Mary Beard在書中採用許多西方的古今經典故事,書名 Women & Power 兩字眼都同樣重要,所以不應該以"女力" 一語帶過。

Ancient Rome Will Never Get Old. Take It From Mary Beard.

But what’s your hunch about why people are being drawn to Stoicism? What comes out in Marcus Aurelius particularly is rather clichéd thoughts: Never take a major decision when your mind is troubled. We can all agree with clichés like that. And they come with the rubber stamp of great antiquity because they were written by an emperor — an emperor who was about as brutal in massacring the enemy as Julius Caesar. But we tend to forget that side of him because he’s a bearded “philosopher.” It’s not very salutary to look at your Amazon ratings, but I always feel terribly pleased — though it doesn’t happen often — when I’m higher up than Marcus Aurelius.

但是你對為什麼人們被斯多葛主義所吸引有什麼預感? 

馬庫斯·奧勒留(Marcus Aurelius)特別提出了一些陳詞濫調的想法:當您的頭腦有問題時,永遠不要做出重大決定。 我們都同意這樣的陳詞濫調。 它們帶有古老的橡皮圖章,因為它們是由一位皇帝撰寫的——這位皇帝在屠殺敵人方面與凱撒大帝一樣殘暴。 但我們往往會忘記他的那一面,因為他是一個留著鬍子的“哲學家”。 查看您在亞馬遜上的評分並不是很有益,但是當我比馬庫斯·奧勒留 (Marcus Aurelius) 高時,我總是感到非常高興——儘管這種情況並不經常發生。
