challenging reflective medium-paced

5.0

this book gave me lots of thought and I learned a whole bunch of new things about the phenomenon of witch hunting. Including the fact that it happens today in Africa and other areas of the world.

This book talks about violence against women mostly non-explicitly but it does bring up a lot of different methods and mentions the acts fairly often throughout the book. This book also mentions slavery and forced breeding of slaves and women which can be hard to read about
