Praise for Reinventing Love

“In a spirited social critique, French feminist Chollet draws on movies, TV, novels, advertisements, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory to examine impediments to fulfilling experiences of heterosexual love…A vital celebration of loving.”—Kirkus Reviews

"Four years after #Metoo, feminist literature is tackling the crux of the problem: heterosexual relationships. Unease has mounted among feminist heterosexuals, feeling torn at best, traitorous to their cause at worst. Fortunately Mona Chollet is here." —Vogue (France)

"[A] committed, honest, astonishing approach in search of tangible emancipation." — Le Monde

"[Chollet is] an inspiring figure for an entire generation of feminists."--Elle (France)

"'Reinventing love.' An ambitious project, but could we expect less from Mona Chollet, a successful author who has become an icon of feminism?... [Chollet] dissects a subject often shunned by feminism: love." —Huffington Post (France)

"[Chollet] questions the eroticization of male domination, the weight of male fantasies, the centrality of love learned very quickly by girls, the scripts that we have internalized, and notes that our sentimental society is based on the subordination of the feminine." —Lire (France)

Praise for In Defense of Witches

“A thought-provoking, discursive survey by a bright light of Francophone feminism….In today’s France, Chollet has emerged as a quiet revolutionary, pushing back against the clichés and the patriarchy that shapes them.”
—Rachel Donadio, The New York Times Book Review

"This delightful book, part history, part literary criticism, part political manifesto, explains why independent women are the witches of today, and calls on all women to mount our broomsticks and fly.”
—Katha Pollitt, author of Pro and Learning to Drive

“A smart feminist treatise reclaiming the witch and her radical way of life as a path forward for women….”
—Jenna Jay, Booklist
