Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women

Silvia Federici's work explores the recent surge in violence against women, linking it to broader economic and social shifts associated with capitalism. Drawing parallels to past witch hunts, she examines how processes like land dispossession and the restructuring of reproductive activities underpin this new wave of oppression. The book not only investigates these causes but also emphasizes the importance of resistance and the relevance of historical memory in contemporary feminist struggles.
