À propos de cet audio

“Like being deemed a witch hundreds of years ago, being presumed a slut today is cause for ostracism, abuse, and death”.... Archetypes of “witch” and “slut” have been used to police female sexuality and punish women; now, feminists are reclaiming them as positive affirmations. This book unearths the sex positive feminist legacy of the witch in art, music, politics, and popular culture, connecting the fictional witch we love to emulate and fear with real women, past and present.

Kristen J. Sollee is instructor at the New School and founding editrix of Slutist, an award-winning sex positive feminist website.

Super enjoyable read. Gives a modern day depiction of witches, what they were, what they stood for, and how they were frames. Super good feminist read.

Well written, read and researched.
Loved this so much I am going to buy a physical copy to add to my collection.
I feel this would be be a great introduction for younger generations into feminism and the beginning of witchcraft in western society.

A staple for understanding witch history

I liked this book quite a lot. it is not TERFy like a lot of books on this topic can be. In this book she talks a lot about the intersections of feminism and the witch esthetic and its impact on POC as well, which is so important to be talking about.

I highly recommend

a great perspective on intersectionality

After watching a few videos featuring the author, I was interested in seeking out her book to take a deeper dive into the materiel she presented in the videos. Considering the vast amount of information and topics she wanted to cover, I suspect she condensed the chapters to keep the book a small and reasonable read, however it would have been wonderful to get a better whole picture of some the topics discussed. The author does mention a number of other authors, storytellers and online resources to source additional info, so I do appreciate that. The only turn off of this book was the over-abundance of Trump talk. I found myself doing an eye-roll every single chapter, as she found an avenue to once again bring up Trump and the republicans. It felt a little out of place. That’s not to say that policy and the political sphere don’t have a place in a book, but again... he was mentioned in nearly every chapter. Would be nice to imbibe content in 2020/2021 without having to hear about “Trump” constantly... especially as a Canadian (sighhh). If you don’t mind that, then this will be a very interesting afternoon read to pass time in the seemingly infinite lockdown.

Short and interesting read
