I never marked this as read.
Loved this book - such a combination about witchcraft and witch-hunts with feminism and hatred of women and the history behind it... Very insightful and I definitely learned new things.

You might be a witch if:
•You are a single woman
•You are a childless woman
•You are an older woman
•You are a woman of any kind because history shows that men with big egos love to find a way to control women that threaten said ego

A little exhausting at times and laborious to get through but overall, worth the read.

3 stars.
While this book discussed some very important feminist topics, I don’t think it was quite what I was hoping. There were some references to the witch hunts, but I was hoping for much more of a historical perspective and information about them.
Also, she missed me in the last chapter with her unfair criticism of doctors. Decent read, just felt like it could have been so much more.
