How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy by Claire Mitchell, Zoe Venditozzi
4.5
challenging funny informative fast-paced

This book explores the history of the Scottish Witch Trials and gives voice to one of the largest if not the largest witch hunt in history. The book discusses themes of feminism, patriarchy, oppression, and the historical justice systems as well as ideas of power and privilege. The book draws parallels to the world of today and the fight that women are still fighting. 
I found the book interesting and thought provoking and enjoyed the use of Scots and Scottish Gaelic throughout the book!
