Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch is lauded for its compelling and radical reinterpretation of history, highlighting the link between witch hunts, women's oppression, and capitalism's development. Critics appreciate its depth and feminist perspective, though some find its theoretical density challenging. Overall, the work is influential and thought-provoking.
