Chollet has emerged as a quiet revolutionary, pushing back against the clichés and the patriarchy that shapes them. Review QuoteWhat sets Chollet’s book apart is her aligning so clearly the historical mistreatment of so-called witches with the misogyny of the 21st century. The subtitle sums it up: why women are still on trial . . . a rousing read. Review QuoteExplores the worldview that the witch hunt has sought to promote - and its consequences on society today Review QuoteMona Chollet reminds us how an infamous label has become a symbol of women's resistance to male domination. Review Quote[Mona Chollet] rehabilitates the figure of the witch, this dangerously independent, educated and strong woman. Review Quote[Mona Chollet] dissects this figure from our history – and our imagination – and demonstrates how women today, those who free themselves from certain social norms, are in fact the direct heirs of those who were pursued, hunted, censored, eliminated during the Renaissance. Review QuoteThe term “witches” is still today to caricature women of power, aging women or quite simply free women . . . Mona Chollet ders about what remains today of the great witch hunts, that is to say the massacre of tens of thousands of women in Europe between the 16th and 17th centuries . . . [She] ends up convincing: the witch is a figure more fascinating and empowering than repulsive. Review QuoteWhat remains of the witch hunts? A stubborn misogyny, which still tints the way our societies look at single women, childless women, aging women, or quite simply, free women . . . Today more than ever, witches tell us about our world and lead the way. Review QuoteA smart feminist treatise reclaiming the witch and her radical way of life as a path forward for womem . . . Chollet’s informed and passionate treatment will appeal to readers looking for more substance amid the witch trend that’s otherwise been largely commodified and often scrubbed of its feminist originsA short feminist polemic that argues that the afterlife of the witch hunts continues today: the same reasons for which women were demonized in the past – being single, ageing, deciding to not have children – lead to them be persecuted now. 'A rousing read' – Irish Times'A bright light of Francophone feminism' – New York TimesRenowned 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 bos 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. Biographical NoteMona Chollet is a journalist at Le Monde diplomatique and the author of several works of non-fiction. She has written on women's bodies, the domestic sphere, and dismantling right-wing political imagery. Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
