Phyllis Riding Aristotle – The Power of Women
The Story
The Power of Women
Reflections
The scene, though less popular did reach beyond the Renaissance, versions were still produced through the Enlightenment and into the 18th century. Nietzsche, the German philosopher, reproduced the scene in a 19th century photograph in which he pulls a cart like a horse. Even in the 21st century, it still acts to engage us, I found it used as an internet meme, see above.

Well researched and very informative (as we’ve come to expect).
I wonder if Stephen Fry could add a forward to this article?
Well researched article. There’s a famous book by Susan Smith “The power of women” on this topic. But I have to warn you. It’s scientific and not always as thrilling as the videos of the mansion here. 😉 My compliments to the English Mansion team. Definitely came for the videos but really appreciate what’s in your blog.
I’ll be honest. If a woman wanted me to wear a pony bridle, gag and tack and walk me around that would be a bonus not a trial to be dealt with!
