Witches, Sluts, Feminists

This book explores the historical and cultural significance of the witch and slut archetypes, highlighting how these labels have been used to police female sexuality, but also how feminists are reclaiming them as symbols of empowerment. It traces the sex-positive feminist legacy of the witch across art, music, politics, and popular culture, connecting fictional portrayals to real women both past and present. Kristen J. Sollee, an instructor and founder of the sex positive feminist website Slutist, examines these powerful symbols through a contemporary lens.
