Necessary reading for men. Everyday experiences for women in the misogyny of it all.

I loved this book ! It was really interesting and I learned a lot about society, patriarchy and of course feminism.

Mmmm yes.

A few favourite points: the villainisation of older women (aka, women who no longer serve a purpose to men): womens reproduction rights and women who are, voluntarily, childless; and the sexism and misogyny in medicine, particularly midwifery, stemming from the fear of 'witch' healers

"Sorcières, la puissance invaincue des femmes" explore, comme son nom l'indique, l'image de la sorcière, non seulement à l'époque de leur chasse, mais aussi jusqu'à aujourd'hui, à travers les thèmes de l'indépendance, du non-désir d'enfant, de l'âgisme et de la relation entre l'idée de nature et l'idée de féminité. C'est un ouvrage absolument passionnant et très abordable, à la fois recherché, référencé et sincère. Étant donné les thèmes abordés, certains passages peuvent être pénibles à lire. J'ai personnellement trouvé le dernier chapitre sur les violences médicales particulièrement éprouvant, mais tellement nécessaire. Une lecture que je recommande chaudement, et qui m'encourage à poursuivre mon exploration d'essais féministes.
