TOWSON U. GRAD'S 15TH

In “Off With Her Head: Three Thousand Years of Demonizing Women in Power,” author Eleanor Herman applies her signature wit and humor to explore a serious subject: the attitudes and behaviors applied from the ancient world to the present day against powerful women.

The book traces how those practices, which Herman calls the Misogynist’s Handbook, have been wielded against ambitious women – from Cleopatra and Anne Boleyn to Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. The book concludes by looking forward, examining ways to rip up the Misogynist’s Handbook once and for all.

Herman, who discussed her book “The Royal Art of Poison” during the festival in 2018, is The New York Times bestselling author of “Sex with Kings” and “Sex with the Queen,” among others. A sought-after speaker and commentator for radio and television, she has hosted “Lost Worlds” for The History Channel, “The Madness of Henry VIII” for the National Geographic Channel, and two seasons of “America: Fact vs. Fiction” for The American Heroes Channel.
