Angels Witches Women

In a sense, the history of mankind so far is also the history of the struggle between the genders. How did the initial female-centric society gradually become a male-centric world? How was the woman's body, possessions, soul and identity gradually dominated? How did that hegemony garner social recognition? How did patriarchy develop into such a powerful ideology that completely governs all fields of religion, philosophy, art, literature, science, and politics?

Knowledge-seeking will not be possible without raising these questions and discussing them. We cannot evaluate any intellectual theory without addressing the politics behind the relegation of women as the second sex.
The longest and most powerful struggle that history has ever witnessed was the struggle of women against patriarchy. Having taken many forms, such as an angel, a goddess, a demon, a witch, a force of destruction, a rebel, and an adventurer, this book features the stories of women from all over the world who have fought against patriarchy.
