Sir PTerry intimately understood folklore and fauxlore. We're reading The Hogfather to the kids at the moment, an exploration of the dual God of Death and Rebirth (where each experiences the other), the nature and utility of belief and what it means to be human.

Mary Beard - Women and Power
You have to change the structure. That means thinking about power differently. R means decoupling it from public prestige. It means thinking collaboratively, about the power of followers not just leaders. It means, above all, thinking about power as an attribute or even a verb ('to power'), not as a possession. What I have in mind is the ability to be effective, to make a difference in the world, and the right to be taken seriously, together as much as individually. It is power in that sense that many women feel they don't have - and that they want.

"You can't easily fit women into a structure that is already coded as male; you have to change the structure" - Mary Beard 'Women & Power'

Reading around the issues I'm contemplating in BTW Wicca at the moment. This is such a helpful book.
