Sollee explores the places and people significant to the early modern legacy of the witch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween the 15th and 17th centuries, a confluence of political, economic, and religious factors ignited a wildfire of witch hysteria in Europe and, later, in parts of America. At the heart of these witch hunts were often dangerous misconceptions about femininity and female sexuality, and women were disproportionately punished as a result. Today, this lineage of oppression remains a vital reference point in the fight for women's rights - and human rights - in the Western world and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy infusing an adventurous first-person narrative with extensive research and moments of imaginative historical fiction, Sollee (author of \u003ci\u003eWitches, Sluts, Feminists\u003c\/i\u003e) makes an often-overlooked period of history come alive. Written for armchair travelers and on-the-ground explorers alike, \u003ci\u003eWitch Hunt\u003c\/i\u003e not only uncovers the horrors of history but how the archetype of the witch has been rehabilitated. For witches are not just haunting figures of the past; the witch is also a liberatory icon and identity of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830052769950,"sku":"ADS-9781578638161","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781578638161.jpg?v=1778559363","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781578638161","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
