Hex by Jenni Fagan
4.5
4.5 stars 🌟 Fuck the patriarchy.
I know for a fact that I too would have died in a witch's trial. Rest easy Geillis Duncan. You deserved better.
Every single day, women die just for the crime of being women. From birth, we are marked guilty. Of being too loud, knowing too much, not being gentile enough, seducing men, not doing enough to protect ourselves, gold digging...the list is endless.
We exist in a world where we are never enough but simultaneously are too much. Men hate us, fail to protect us, blame us, put up systems to continue to oppress us. They demand our energy, time, effort, bodies, peace, submission, silence...
As women, we all deserve betterment.
