What Types Of Women Have Centuries Of Terror Censored, Eliminated, And Repressed? Celebrated Feminist Writer Mona Chollet Explores Three Types Of Women Who Were Accused Of Witchcraft And Persecuted: The Independent Woman, Since Widows And Celibates Were Particularly Targeted; The Childless Woman, Since The Time Of The Hunts Marked The End Of Tolerance For Those Who Claimed To Control Their Fertility; And The Elderly Woman, Who Has Always Been An Object Of At Best, Pity, And At Worst, Horror Examining Modern Society, Chollet Concludes That These Women Continue To Be Harrassed And Oppressed Rather Than Being A Brief Moment In History, The Persecution Of Witches Is An Example Of Society's Seemingly Eternal Misogyny, While Women Today Are Direct Heirs To Those Who Were Hunted Down And Killed For Their Thoughts And Actions With Fiery Prose And Arguments That Range From The Scholarly To The Cultural, In Defense Of Witches Seeks To Unite The Mythic Image Of The Witch With Modern Women Who Seek To Live Their Lives On Their Own Terms Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:St. Martin's GriffinPublication Date:2023-10-03Weight:1 lbsDimensions:1'' H x 8.25'' L x 5.38'' WNumber of Pages:320Language:English
