In Defense of Witches by Mona Chollet is a groundbreaking exploration into the history and symbolism of witchcraft, shedding light on the often-overlooked experiences of women accused of witchcraft throughout history.

This book delves into the lives of three types of women who were disproportionately targeted during the witch hunts: independent women, childless women, and elderly women.

Through a combination of scholarly research and cultural analysis, Chollet argues that these women continue to face oppression in modern society, making In Defense of Witches a powerful call to action for gender equality.

With its thought-provoking arguments and well-documented history, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in feminism, witchcraft, or the ongoing struggle for women's rights.
