In Defense of Witches is a spectacular book. Truly spellbinding. So much information crammed in but it’s all very digestible. Never once did it feel like I was being talked down or lectured to. 

I highly suggest this book for anyone who might consider themselves a feminist or even just anyone who knows someone who identifies as a woman. (Which is nearly everyone!) 

Very great read, definitely worth the time. I highly suggest the audiobook as well!!

Un livre que j’avais beaucoup aimé lire au lycée car il m’a apprit beaucoup, mais je pense que ça reste très féminisme blanc bourgeois, l’analyse est uniquement sur la France / Europe…
