Margot has the power woken up in her through her daughter and it quickly seeps into her political life. This is specifically shown through Margot, the mayor of a major city. But, Alderman doesn’t just show group corruption, she shows how the individual can be corrupted. When a group recognizes that they have the high ground they are more likely to commit mass demonstrations of power if the group deems it necessary. I thought this was an excellent scene because it is very remniscient of real riots and crowd mentality. Some of them can do it without touching the cars they send their lines of power out from their bodies and they are laughing.” “They are going car to car, setting the motors revving and the engine blocks burning into molten heat. We see it all throughout the novel but the first instance that was really intense and visceral for me happened on page 64 during the first occurence of a womens riot, We as people have this horrible ability ot be corrupted by an increase of power and Alderman illustrates that perfectly. This book has a very intense and scary message about power.

Women can inflict terrifying pain with just a twist of their wrists, how will this change the world? Times are quickly changing and a mass reversal of power is capturing the world by storm. Women around the world are having an electrical power woken up inside of them. The Power shakes with such ferocious intensity that it is impossible to put down once you’ve started.
