I can't believe it took till 2004 for somebody to cogently critique Marx's idea of primitive accumulation to include the reproductive aspects of womens bodies and the market excluded work they do in maintaining a home. Argues forcibly for the continuing and ever-present violence of capitalism.

Yes, I am done with this book. But I'm aware that I am going to spend the next three months having to come back to this book because the professor wants us to read/analyze certain sections. I know I am going to end up despising it because of this. So I'll review it now. I may come back and change a couple of details later.
It's a good book. It's definitely a different perspective about the transition of feudalism to capitalism with the intersection of the witch hunt. While I do agree with some of her points I don't agree with her thesis as a whole. I do feel like she over emphasizes the effect of the witch hunt in terms of the number of women it affected. I am not that well versed when it comes to the exact details but I do believe it did affect less than 100,000 women.

Best book I’ve read in a while, but no surprises there. Adding myself to the list of annoying people who tore this one apart! Perfect antithesis to the wide interpretation of the witch hunts. Excellent insight to the disassembly that witch hunting brought to how women organised and controlled their reproduction.
