Waking the Witch

Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power

by Pam Grossman

Pam Grossman, creator of the Witch Wave podcast, examines the witch as an archetype in history, art, literature and popular culture, from early modern trials to fairy tales, film and contemporary feminism. Interweaving cultural analysis with memoir, the book considers why the witch has become a powerful symbol of female autonomy. Accessible and well informed, it suits general readers interested in culture.
