chelford's review against another edition
4.5
A fantastic, French, feminist read. This book was a bit less witchy than I expected from the title, but it was an excellent exploration of the impact of the historical treatment of women and witches on modern attitudes towards and within women. It isn't a comprehensive guide, but it isn't particularly lacking in any area, either. It scratched my itch to re-read Waking the Witch while still allowing me to read something new.

This book was good and explored a variety of different topics that I hadn’t considered. It also explored topics that I had considered, but didn’t know there were people who agreed with my points about them (motherhood.) I liked it. The part about getting married and becoming a parent gave me anxiety, but I was able to work through it talking to Dave. The medical part kinda got to me too, and I hope I will be able to work my way through it. I feel more in solidarity with my own thoughts and ideas and power as a woman.
