In Amazon’s 9-part global thriller The Power, sustained and elevated estrogen causes people across the world to develop a new organ capable of producing and conducting electricity.
Younger people can awaken the Power in older people. Soon enough, most women can do it. Sooner still, non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming people reveal they’ve got the Power, too.
And with that comes a startling reversal in gender-based power dynamics — and the revelation that how the world responds may merely repeat the mistakes of the past.
TRANSlating Everything is by Stephenie Magister and occasional guests.
