A really good, broad overview of the topic. Definitely gives the reader a platform to go deeper into it and research themselves.

A short and sometimes even slightly superficial book about how being a woman has been enough to be called any of the things in the book's title. Sollée states at the beginning of the book that it is not an academic book but the beginning certainly is and is written really well. What it fails to do is keep this same, easy reading introductory tone all the way to the end but changes into quite silly, interview tactics after the midpoint. And I don't understand why: Sollée can write good, non fiction text with subject interviews and cited sources but for some reason doesn't. That irritated me quite a lot, so much that I had to speed up reading towards the end and lower my scores.

Overall a good book to start to glean knowledge. A lot of it is excepts from magazines, books, or interviews so that was a bit disappointing. But it was still interesting to see the connection between witches and sluts and feminism.

I really enjoyed this read! I read it pretty fast, it's super insightful and has some interesting information. It doesn't go super in depth but it's a great starting point if you're interested in learning about witches and their relation to feminism. I've discovered lots of other books I want to read through this books referencing, which is cool. I'd definitely recommend it!
