Young, na?ve, and idealistic, she has accepted her lot in life, resigned to existing under the sinister weight of Theseus's control and the constant watchful eye of her handsome stepson Hippolytus. When supposedly pious Hippolytus assaults her, Phaedra's world is darkened in the face of untouchable, prideful power. In the face of injustice, Phaedra refuses to remain quiet any longer: such an awful truth demands to be brought to light. When Phaedra publicly accuses Hippolytus of rape, she sparks an overdue reckoning. The men of Athens gather to determine the truth. Meanwhile, the women of the city, who have no vote, are gathering in the shadows. The women know truth is a slippery thing in the hands of men. There are two sides to every story, and theirs has gone unheard-until now. Timely, unflinching, and transportive, Laura Shepperson's Phaedra carves open long-accepted wounds to give voice to one of the most maligned figures of mythology and offers a stunning story of how truth bends under the weight of patriarchy but can be broken open by the force of one woman's bravery. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 $a Phaedra $c (Greek mythological character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trials (Rape) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rape victims $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Truth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mythology, Greek $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Athens (Greece) $x History $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Owen, Mark, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Nixon, Leon, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Wheeler, Jade, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Atwood, Julia, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Endres, Nicky, $d 1982- $e narrator. 700 1 $a DeWard, Erin, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Gallucci, Mary Helen, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15534601?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781666628258_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011750.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DA35040940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
