In Defence of Witches: Why women are still on trial

In In Defence of Witches, Mona Chollet explores how the figure of the witch has evolved from a symbol of terror and repression in early modern history to a powerful emblem for women today. She examines historic witch hunts and their impact on women who defy societal norms, such as independent women, those childfree by choice, and women embracing aging. Through this analysis, Chollet highlights the diverse roles women can embody and encourages a broader understanding of female agency and power.
