Burning Women: The European Witch Hunts, enclosure and the rise of capitalism
A radical history pamphlet.
Understanding the witch trials of the sixteenth and seventeenth century is a vital part of understanding the rise of capitalism, the family, women’s roles and our relation to our bodies. Their deep importance and impact is too often neglected in even radical histories. This brief overview looks at the economic, social and ideological reasons for, and effects of, the massacre of women that took place during the rise of capitalism.
