Whenever I hear people repeat the received opinion that the witchcraft trials were all about men suppressing powerful, educated, or outspoken women/midwives, I think of the Pendle witch trials and sigh. 😕 😞

It's such a good example of how absolutely messy the real history was in so many places. Women accusing women. Neighbors accusing neighbors. Daughters accusing mothers. Hell, one girl accused herself of witchcraft, after a man she was mad at...fell over one time.
