Books like Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici


In *Witches, Witch‑Hunting, and Women*, Silvia Federici draws parallels between contemporary violence against women and the witch hunts of 16th- and 17th‑century Europe and the New World. She contends that this new "war on women" is a core component of capitalist accumulation, rooted in processes of enclosure, land dispossession, and the restructuring of women’s reproductive labor and subjectivity. Federici argues that these developments reflect the destruction of basic reproductive means and threaten both affected individuals and their communities.

Witches, sluts, feminists by 11871048|Kristen J. Sollée book cover

📘 Witches, sluts, feminists
 by Kristen J. Sollée

"Witch, Slut, Feminist: these contested identities are informing millennial women as they counter a torturous history of misogyny with empowerment. This innovative primer highlights sexual liberation as it traces the lineage of 'witch feminism.' Juxtaposing scholarly research on the demonization of women and female sexuality that has continued since the witch hunts of the early modern era with pop occulture analyses and interviews with activists, artists, scholars, and practitioners of witchcraft, this book greatly enriches our current conversations about reproductive rights, sexual pleasure, queer identity, pornography, sex work, and more." --Back cover.
