Gripping but weird focus on "women"

No rating

For Native American Heritage month, i am reading a bunch of books by indigenous authors. This is a fantasy story where witches exist but are being hunted out of existence by witch hunters who are basically harbingers of capitalism. 7 spoons find the right group of women who are necessary to bring about the end of capitalism & the witch hunters.

The author tries to make this inclusive by having a trans woman as one of the protagonists but really why would a witch have to have something femme about them? It doesnt quite make sense to me really. Somehow it feels like this book is veering towards terf-ness by having such a narrow focus on who can be a witch.

Otherwise this is a very compelling read. Easy to keep reading and the trashing of capitalism is a plus.
