But the becoming-plant that happens in these stories instead constitutes resistance through non-compliance.' - Elvia Wilk [[Wilk, Elvia (2022) Death By Landscape]] >'...the delimitation and privatization of (especially the female) body occurred simultaneously with the expropriation, delimitation, and privatization of common land and resources throughout the High and Late Middle Ages.' - Silvia Federici [[Wilk, Elvia (2022) Death By Landscape]] Women were enclosed and reduced to 'bodies' so as to serve the capitalist ideals of commodity. Which then reinforced the concepts of wages, work, and private property. Reproduction has become a 'feminized practice'. We must be against all essentialisms. ## Sources [[Western Literary Forms]] [[@Silvia Federici]] [[Federici, Silvia (2018) Witches, Witch-hunting, and Women]] [[Hildegard Von Bingen's Herbs]]
