Women and Witch Trials with Ann Little

To honor Women’s History Month and March 8, International Women’s Day we have created a special episode with Colorado State University’s Dr. Ann Little who specializes in the history of colonial America, with special emphasis on the history of women, gender and sexuality. She is a professor, author and expert consultant for Who Do You Think You Are?  We discuss past and persisting mentalities toward and in women including their fertility and sexuality power in society. What is the impact of this narrative on historic witch trials and in modern attitudes influencing women’s rights?LinksWitch Craze: Terror and Fantasy in Baroque Germany, Lyndal Roper The Devil in the Shape of a Women: Witchcraft in Colonial New England, Carol F.
