However, the witch craze has been subjected to surprisingly little feminist analysis. In \u003cem\u003eLewd Women and Wicked Witches\u003c\/em\u003e, Marianne Hester reviews and develops revolutionary feminist thinking. Accordingly, she shows how witches can be seen as victims of the oppression of a male dominated society.\u003cbr\u003eConcentrating on English source material, the author shows how witch-hunts may be seen as an historically specific example of male dominance. Relying on an eroticised construct of women's inferiority, they were part of the ongoing attempt by men to maintain their power over women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianne Hester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415070716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415070713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Marianne Hester","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064863830271,"sku":"9780415070713","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4641991f-ce6f-4a31-9a3d-abfe387daddc.jpg?v=1768671543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lewd-women-and-wicked-witches-marianne-hester-9780415070713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
