“More important than the #stinginess of the #superrich, however, is the fact that their #wealth has brought great #politicalpower, arguably more than the #robberbarons ever possessed — power that they abuse on an epic scale.”

My wife has a new article in The Conversation honoring women's power from her perspective as a classicist in time for Mother's Day.

From ancient goddesses to modern peace activists − Mother’s Day celebrates women’s political power
On Mother’s Day, Americans go all out with gift-buying and dining out to honor the women in their lives. In fact, according to some estimates, consumer spending in the United States on this day is around US$34 billion.

This consumerist emphasis has long been criticized – including by the holiday’s founder, Anna Jarvis. She started the celebration in 1908 to honor her own mother, Civil War-era activist Ann Jarvis, who founded Mothers’ Day Work Clubs in her native West Virginia.

From ancient goddesses to modern peace activists − Mother’s Day celebrates women’s political power

Anna Jarvis founded Mother’s Day in 1908 to honor women’s collective work for peace. Today, the celebration is largely detached from its political origins.
