The novel masterfully blends historical women's suffrage with ancient magic, suggesting that true revolution requires both political action and embracing one's inherent power. Through the sisters' journey, we see how traditional 'women's work' - from kitchen spells to healing charms - becomes a source of formidable strength when reclaimed and wielded with purpose.

At its heart, this is a story about the complex relationships between sisters - both biological and chosen. The Eastwood sisters must heal their fractured bonds while building a larger sisterhood of witches, demonstrating how personal reconciliation parallels political solidarity. Their individual powers become exponentially stronger when they work together, symbolizing the collective power of women united.

The novel explores how stories, traditions, and magic persist even when suppressed. Through nursery rhymes, household remedies, and grandmother's tales, the sisters rediscover magic that was never truly lost, just disguised and preserved by generations of women. This theme speaks to the resilience of marginalized knowledge and the importance of cultural memory.
