In Defense of Witches: The Legacy of the Witch Hunts and Why Women Are Still on Trial

This work examines the enduring symbolism of witches as both victims and symbols of female resistance against misogyny. It explores the historical persecution of independent, childless, and elderly women accused of witchcraft, highlighting how these figures have been targets of societal oppression. The analysis connects these historical injustices to contemporary issues, arguing that modern women who defy societal norms face similar challenges. Through a blend of scholarly and cultural perspectives, the book aims to reconcile the mythic image of the witch with the ongoing struggle for female autonomy and independence.
