Taking three archetypes from historic witch hunts - independent women, women who avoid having children and women who embrace ageing - Chollet examines how women today have the same charges levelled against them. She calls for justice in healthcare, challenging the gender imbalance in science and questioning why female bodies �re still controlled by men.   Rich with popular culture, literary references and media insights, In Defence of Witches is a vital addition to the cultural conversation around women, witches and the misogyny that has shaped the world they live in.   With a foreword by Carmen Maria Machado and translated from French by Sophie R. Lewis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459259883741,"sku":"9781529034066","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781529034066.jpg?v=1719968087","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781529034066","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
