'Intriguing' – Sunday Times 'A rousing read' – Irish Times 'A
bright light of Francophone feminism' – New York Times Renowned
journalist Mona Chollet recasts the witch as a powerful role model:
an emblem of strength, free to exist beyond the narrow limits
society imposes on women. Taking three archetypes from historic
witch hunts – independent women, women who avoid having children
and women who embrace ageing – Chollet examines how women today
have the same charges levelled against them. She calls for justice
in healthcare, challenging the gender imbalance in science and
questioning why female bodies must still controlled by men. Rich
with popular culture, literary references and media insights, In
Defence of Witches is a vital addition to the cultural conversation
around women, witches and the misogyny that has shaped the world
they live in. With a foreword by Carmen Maria Machado and
translated from French by Sophie R. Lewis.
