Weekend Reading

This week, through a review of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, Cynthia reflects on women’s representation and what true equality requires. In the play, a powerful man dismisses a young woman with: “My false o’erweighs your true.” Whose word is believed remains a central barrier to equality. We see it from news happening today, from threats against women in the Arizona legislature to the abuse directed at famous woman tennis player Coco Gauff.
