If you've ever wondered about the idea of "Witches vs. The Patriarchy", this book is written in that sub-genre of Gothic Fiction. Set during a time when an embodiment of the patriarchy could literally just show up and take your house, it depicts the acts of apotropaic magic and more 'witchy' defences the women resort to.

Bonus: it's only a novella, so it's an enjoyable, breezy read.
