'Intriguing' - The Sunday Times   'A rousing read' - The Irish Times   'A bright light of
Francophone feminism' - The New York Times    Renowned journalist Mona Chollet recasts the
witch as a powerful role model: an emblem of strength  free to exist beyond the narrow limits
society imposes on women.   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 are 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.
