On the Meaning of "Gossip"
From: Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women
$0.90
The readings in Part One of this title explore the history of witch hunts and place them in the context of contemporary violence against women. This reading consists of an exploration of the history of the term "gossip" and more broadly, an exploration of the development of terms that have been used, both implicitly and explicitly, to define and degrade women.
