Review: Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive by Kristen J. Sollee

Goodreads Summary:
Witch, Slut, Feminist: these contested identities are informing millennial women as they counter a tortuous history of misogyny with empowerment. This innovative primer highlights sexual liberation as it traces the lineage of “witch feminism.” Juxtaposing scholarly research on the demonization of women and female sexuality that has continued since the witch hunts of the early modern era with pop occulture analyses and interviews with activists, artists, scholars, and practitioners of witchcraft, this book enriches our contemporary conversations about reproductive rights, sexual pleasure, queer identity, pornography, sex work, and more.

My Review:
This compilation of 22 chapters touches on medieval witchcraft, Salem, midwives, voice/language, sex tools, porn, fashion, music, capitalism, film, reproductive rights, and several other controversial topics. Written in a very accessible (and often tongue in cheek) sort of way, this slim book is a primer of sorts--an introduction into the parallels between the sex positive icons/tropes of witches, sluts, and feminists. It also provides an extensive collection of works cited to further one's reading, which I will definitely be referencing.
