How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women by Claire Mitchell, Zoe Venditozzi

5.0

dark informative reflective medium-paced

As someone with a great love and interest in books about the history of witchcraft, this may be one of my favorites - it does a great job highlighting the women at the center of it all, explaining the process, giving the reader an understanding of the structures of power (laws, government, etc) that allowed for this to happen (one of the authors is a lawyer) and then also wrapped it up by illustrating how things like this aren’t distant history but relevant to today. Highly recommend!
