πΉπ₯DEVIL WORSHIP 3 AM AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT FEAT MARX, FANON, HOOKS AND MORE π₯πΉ
This book is so special to me because where else was i supposed to learn that capitalism is a ploy invented by rich people in the low middle ages scared of social movements and that women were the leaders of these movements seven whole centuries ago? The whole thing makes me think how history is repeating itself constatly in order for these systems of oppression to function and Silvia Federici (her work and the many it influenced) gives me hope that this mess isn't going to be this way foverer.
Easily the most beautiful book i own. Bianca Oliveira and Karen Ka should win a nobel prize for their work on this edition. They saved lives. I rest my case.

This is either a 4.5 or 5 stars but I am not very sure. 4 stars, for now.
I am intrigued by the hypothesis put forward in this book, and I can certainly see it being valid through the several arguments presented. However, this book has certain mistakes, here and there, and at points seems to connect events that do not seem at all related, or so tangentially related that they seem unnecessary to bring up. I do concede that this could be merely because I am not 100% familiar with everything argued for/against in this book, nor am I familiar with every philosophy/er in Europe until the XIX century. I do believe that this work would benefit immensely from the feedback from experts in other areas, who could provide further context and critique! Alas, we must recognize that one work by one individual can only go so far β time, sources and research funds do not abound, in my very limited experience β and the author did well with what they had.
I did have fun β academic fun, that is, because this work does introduce a reader to a world of horror that fuel deep primal rage and fear within them β with this book. And I do think that, as someone who is, systemically speaking, an "Other", there's some truth to what's said here that I experience still. My gut kept yelling "HELLO WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS" in some pages, meanwhile my mind tried to keep itself more at a distance to have a more... objective, if that can be said, perspective of this book.
Despite being repetitive in some parts (inevitable to happen in any academic work actually), I do find myself wanting to revisit it someday, perhaps when I have a more profound understanding of some other works and contexts provided in this book.
Welp, that's my review. Off to read the other reviews now, who will definitely for sure all agree in one way or another with points I mentioned and absolutely not be an utter bloodbath of radically different opinions who stretch Goodreads Review word count.

Interesting, about how women were forced to bear and rear children. The ones who practiced contraception (and taught other women about contraception) were labeled witches and killed.
It became more academic after the first 20% and harder to get through.
