In her new book, bestselling author Rebekka Endler delves into the roots of patriarchy and examines misogynistic myths that still shape our thinking and actions today. She argues that the explanation of "men and power" falls short and asks: Why do so many women still dream of a saving prince? What drives the Mommy Blogger wave, and what roles do stereotypes like "bitches", "witches", and "It-Girls" play?

By exploring the canonization in art, the Romantic era, feminist waves, cancel culture, and transphobia, Endler demonstrates that patriarchy is real, how we contribute to its perpetuation daily, and how it can be overcome. Witches, Bitches, It-Girls is an anecdotal investigation – sharp, combative, and full of unexpected insights.
