Witches, Witch-hunting and Women by Silvia Federici
(PM Press, 9781629635682, p/b, £12.99)

This book takes on the witch trials of old and explains how our present day is repeating the past in an alarming way. Taking apart what Federici describes as a war on women and it’s links to capitalist accumulation, this is an investigation into the causes of this new violence against women and their rights. From processes of enclosure, land dispossession, and the remoulding of women’s reproductive activities and subjectivity. This book is a feminist call to arms and recontextualises the “Witch” in a political view. Definitely a good choice for the more socially-conscious or history-buff witch!

Kelly Thompson continued her 2019 Sabrina series with an all new installment this year.

Now that Sabrina has successfully saved the day once, she thought she could finally relax. But her aunts are starting to make her feel wary and the town she’s felt fond of her whole life, Greendale, might not be at peace after all. Sabrina is on top form in this book, just as hilarious and relatable as you’d expect from an Archie Comics star.
