Description

In Defence of Witches: Why Women are Still on Trial For centuries, women accused of witchcraft have been a source of fascination and horror. Mona Chollet explores the lives of three types of women who were targeted during the witch hunts: independent women, childless women, and elderly women. These women were often the victims of societal misogyny, and their stories continue to resonate today. Chollet examines how the persecution of witches is a lasting example of the oppression of women. She argues that these women's experiences are not just a part of history, but a reminder of the ongoing struggles women face in modern society. With a focus on the cultural and scholarly aspects of the witch hunts, Chollet sheds new light on this dark period in history. This book is a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of the witch hunts on women's lives.
