Fantasies of Gender and the Witch in Feminist Theory and Literature

In her book ""Fantasies of Gender and the Witch in Feminist Theory and Literature"", Justyna Sempruch analyses contemporary representations of the ""witch"" as a locus for the cultural negotiation of genders. Sempruch develops a new concept of the witch, one that challenges traditional gender-biased theories linking it either to a malevolent ""hag"" on the margins of culture or to unrestrained ""feminine"" sexual desire.
