Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the historiographical inspirations that guided Mona Chollet while preparing her latest feminist essay on symbolic violence against women. The text presents not only the works explicitly indicated in the references, but also those to which the author evokes involuntarily at the linguistic level. Chollet’s optics and style, rooted in the 19th-century perception of witchcraft and witches, trivialize the message of the book, downplaying the meaning of important and noteworthy problems faced by women in the 21st century.
