Witchcraft: Gendered Perspectives: Gendered Perspectives

Autor Jennie Woodard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2025
From fairy tales and fiction to Tiktok, the specter of the witch has cast a long shadow over women and popular culture. Witchcraft: Gendered Perspectives traces the history of and evolution of the term “witch” across six centuries.
Tracing the history of witchcraft from the publication of the Malleus Maleficarum to its contemporary representation and reclamation, this volume takes a gendered and intersectional approach to the cultural and historical shifts which have both demonized and democratized the witch online and in public discourse. Amongst these are:
  • The witch trials in Scotland, England and America
  • Literary and screen re-imaginings of the witch
  • The rise of Wicca as an alternative religion.
Witchcraft: Gendered Perspectives is an invaluable resource for graduate and undergraduate students across gender studies, queer history, religious studies, media studies and European and North American history.

Recenzii

"Grappling with the word witch is always an invitation into complexity and controversy. But Dr Woodard explores it with wisdom and sensitivity, showing to us, the fortunate reader, the witch not just as a symbol of persecution but as a catalyst for social change, healing and community building in the present day. By navigating the crossroads of gender, sexuality and power, this book invites readers to reconsider long-held narratives and confront the enduring legacies of misogyny, oppression and fear. Thoughtfully written and deeply impactful, this book is an essential and enjoyable read!"
Sarah Robinson, author of Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore & Fairy Tale, The Witch and the Wildwood and Witch Country: Seeking the Witch in the British Landscape
