We learn history of feminism from the early witch trials to present day. I found the parallels between witches and feminists very interesting. All strong women who didn't/don't fit with the patriarchal view of femininity and were/are persecuted for challenging the patriarchy. In the past these women were called witches, they were punished and often executed. In the present their persecution is more subtle, they are called bitches, nasty women, etc'. This book also touches on issues that LGBTQ individuals continue to experience. Witches, Sluts, Feminists should be read by everyone who wants to understand how patriarchal culture suppressed and still suppresses women and persons with non-traditional gender identities, and the fight we still have to fight for equal rights.
