Witches

Rating:
Summary: Herstory that any witch worth her salt needs to know.
Review: Witches is the most beautiful book I own. It is not meant to be a treatise on wicca, but a labor of love that acknowledges and honors the herstory of women judged as witches, making an artistic connection with the misogyny that too many of today's women have yet to dis-cover, yet that certainly still exists, particularly when the word "witch" still retains the power to create havoc that it does. Erica Jong is not teaching witchcraft, what she is sharing is the attitudes about witchcraft that led to the torture and deaths of thousands of women in the Middle Ages. It is herstory that is not taught in school. It is herstory that any witch worth her salt needs to know.
