Witches in Non-fiction

They were silenced. They still are. Here, they get to speak and tell their own stories. Herstory.

I searched Witches looking for exactly this kind of list and yours was the only one!! Excited to check some of these out. What would you recommend?

Ooh it makes me really happy to read this! Awesome, welcome to the list. I'm reading "Witchcraft" A history in 13 Trials" by Marion Gibson and really enjoying it, so far I'd recommend it. It's my first in this list and I'm looking forward to the rest. Do you have any recommendations or additions to the list?

Thanks for the rec!! This search was inspired by this conversation where a few other books are mentioned: https://pagebound.co/posts/23653?commentId=70172

  • On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good
  • In Defense of Witches (which you have)
  • In the Devil's Snare
  • Salem Posessed
