Description
Kabyle women from Algeria were believed to have been relegated to a role, subjugated by dominant males, through which they were confined to reproduction, nature, and their sensibilities. The weaknesses created by this inequality were regarded as compensated for by their living inconspicuous lives practicing magic, especially in love. Makilam rejects these preconceived ideas and demonstrates that girls’s magic was once expressed in each domain in their day by day lives: pottery making, food provision/preparation, and weaving. Actually, the normal Kabyle society was once incapable of functioning without women, who ensured its material and non secular unity.
