"Understanding the witch trials is vital part of understanding the rise of capitalism, the family, women's roles and our relation to our bodies. Their deep importance and impact is too often neglected in even radical histories. This brief overview looks at the economic, social and ideological reasons for, and effects of, the massacre of women that took place during the rise of capitalism."

“I don’t want to see my friends raped and murdered, sexually assaulted and sexually harassed, afraid to travel and scared to walk home alone at night. I want to see change. Radical change. I want to see it in my lifetime, however long or short it may be. I hope this zine is a start”

Hot Pantz-DIY Gynecology, Herbal Remedies
by Isabelle Gauthier & Lisa Vinebaum
"Patriarchy sucks. It’s robbed us of our autonomy & much of our history. We believe it’s integral for women to be aware & in control of our own bodies. The recipes we present here have been known and practiced for centuries, passed down from mother to daughter, & have survived the censorship of the witch hunts. Our intent is simple and practical: to help break away from the medical establishment’s tentacular grip on our bodies & our approaches to health and healing."
Not just another pro-choice zine. Free to Choose is an introduction to the history of underground abortion and a call to learn our history and to take matters in our own hands. It includes some information on menstrual extraction and a list of resources to learn more. Reproductive choice is not a "right" to be granted or withdrawn. "To know our history is to see how to take up struggle again."
