Description
A cult classic text on the political, economic and historical context that informs patriarchy, reproductive power and the archetype of the witch. This is an illuminating academic account of how the middle age transition from feudalism to capitalism and primitive accumulation affected women and germinated the modes of oppression women women experience today and crushed indigenous traditions and knowledge. Also covering the impact on the rise of scientific rationalism and enclosure of women’s reproductive rights. Essential reading for those deeply interested in feminism, ecology, reproductive rights, gender and the esoteric and magical.
