A review by shereadytoread
Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici
informative
4.0
This was a good, short, informative read. My main issue with the book lies in its attempt to organize into separate essays but there was a lot of overlap which caused some repetition as well as some entries providing context for another.
I did like that it included a lot of information regarding witch hunts in Africa and South Asia which are often neglected in both historical documents and media, with more focus on European and North American history of witch hunting.
The bibliography is very impressive and I think this is an excellent place to start and seek out longer works or additional information sources.
