This book is an intriguing and engaging wealth of history, knowledge, culture, and awareness that has helped me to feel confident in calling myself a witch with pride! I now understand the inextricable link between witches, sluts, and feminists. I’m proud to identify as all three in all my queer, non-binary glory :)

Your mileage may vary. Many parts of this book provide space for reflection about our cultural/societal views, but there's definitely a focus on cis, white feminism. The dialogue of the book heavily reflects this perspective, there are mentions of other marginalized identities (the author making an attempt to be intersectional), but it feels performative and surface level at best. After the paragraphs or sections that are meant to target important intersections of feminism, the language inevitably returns back to that focus- I don't fit this demographic and have a limited threshold of relating, and I became uncomfortable reading it after a while.
