I only realised just how powerful visual framing can be in 2011 when I first drew the Doughnut and was taken aback by the international response to it.
— Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth (7%)
We're at the beginning of the book, we've barely seen her donut, and we get this "I had no idea everyone would love this so much!" passage, à la Taylor Swift. It goes on for some time. She's just told us how important framing is for people to buy your ideas, and she immediately uses it on us. She may prove completely right, but it's an impressive show of chutzpah.

If you came for witches, you're going to get a whole lot more. Witch-hunts are demonstrated to be just one of the mechanisms by which women have been and are held down. We're led through pop culture and the image of the 'old hag' that permeates films and Disney cartoons. Then we're taken to hospital for a critical look at medicine and a particular gaze at obstetrics and gynecology.
But first, motherhood. The front half of the book is a polemic against societal norms for mothering and parenting — only a mutant doesn't want kids — that may turn off readers well before she actually converts them. It's a fine line. I can't say pulling punches would have reached more people. I only know I almost didn't make it.

a more sweeping book than i had expected. the idea of 'witch' comes to represent the power of a woman freed from the shackles of patriarchal society. chapter 1 digs into mothers being held down by societal pressures to eat last and be only supportive, not sentient. quotes corinne maier's 'no kid', which i read back in the day (and found a bit shrill, but it could have been my lack of language aptitude).

… in 1484, Pope Innocent VIII ordered that all cats seen in the company of women be considered their familiars; these witches were to be burned along with their animals.
