What would you do if the power to rule the world fell into your hands overnight?
That central question underpins Naomi Aldermanâs book âThe Power,â in which women wake up with the ability to electrocute anyone with their bare hands. History is littered with examples of powerful men subjugating others â women, different races, those considered to be weaker â but what would the inverse look like?
Geopolitical power has been intrinsically tied to violence for millennia. Empires are constructed through war and colonialism; often they fall through revolution. But what if women were in charge and not men?
In 2017, The Guardian posed that question to several notable women. Comedian Shazia Mirza said women could lead with less violence, a view shared by Alaa Murabit, a United Nations high-level commissioner.
The COVID-19 risk level being downgraded to âlowâ is making the changes possible.

Various species of trout run rampant throughout the Northern Rockies, but changes in streamflow and water temperatures, some of the results of anthropogenic climate change, stand to alter that.
On Thursday, Dr. Clint Muhlfeld, research aquatic ecologist for the U.S. Geological Surveyâs Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center and an associate research professor at the University of Montana, will dive into how âchanges in those regimes have affected speciesâ distribution, abundance, genetic diversity, phenology and biodiversity within these mountain landscapes,â he said.
Muhlfeld will present his own research at 6 p.m. in Zoom a presentation, titled âTrout in a Changing Climate,â offered through Teton County Library.
Thereâs still time to weigh in on Teton County Libraryâs proposal to eliminate late fines and interlibrary loan fees.
Library staff proposed dropping the fees to make materials more accessible, saying the revenue from fines is negligible (0.11% of the budget) and the Teton County Library Foundation has offered to cover the costs of interlibrary loans. Changes to policy must allow 45 days for public comment. So public input will be accepted through May 17.
Interim Library Director Deb Adams told the Library Board at its regular monthly meeting Thursday that she plans to present a final tally of respondents in May.
