Abstract:
»Emily Naser-Hall discusses the historical connections between the figure of the witch and the laws governing sexual violence, especially the marital rape exception. She explores how American witchcraft films of the 1980s and 1990s—such as The Witches of Eastwick (1987) and The Witches (1990)—reflect both the rise of female sexual agency in the criminal justice system and the cultural backlash against it from deeply entrench patriarchal attitudes of male sexual license.«
