"You don't need to join WITCH. If you are a woman and dare to examine yourself, then you are a witch."
The witch hunts once created a terrifying image of witches for us: they practiced sorcery, they were stubborn, they were old and ugly... However, this powerful ideological poem is filled with misogynistic rhymes, and its lingering resonance still pervades the way women are judged in today's world. Mona Chollet strips away the deceptive embellishments for us, presenting the true image of a "witch": they live independently, they age naturally, they control their own bodies and sexuality.
This explores three different types of women's lives:
Not dependent on others - autonomy does not mean a lack of relationships, but rather the ability to form relationships, as long as these relationships respect our integrity, our free will, and allow us to fully flourish rather than restrict ourselves;
Not confined to motherhood - to change one's destiny, or simply to fill one's days with hope, one must first make having children a matter of choice, to do it if one wishes, and not to do it if one does not;
Not afraid of aging - women are not obliged to remain forever young; they have every right to enrich themselves with another appearance, another kind of beauty.
The "witch" is the only female archetype who possesses a certain power through herself; she is not defined by others. Therefore, "heiresses of the witch," embrace this power and bloom for yourselves!
Live this life to the best of your ability!
