Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia Federici
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.5
🌟4.5/5
I learned so much from this book! Federici is a genius—maybe too much of one, because this book was very challenging for me and really hard to follow at times! But the amount of depth and detail and ability to analyze sources and history is honestly unparalleled here. Docking .5 because I can’t in good faith give a 5 to a book I found very educational but also very dry. It’s more of an academic work than a book. But that’s more personal preference than anything.
