I think this was both a great introduction to some of these women as well as a good refresher for those I’ve heard of before. It’s very much a kind of encyclopedia of various historical and contemporary women somehow connected to witchiness in good and bad ways. I wasn’t really a fan of the skeptic chapter, but I appreciated that the information was presented fairly clinically (although Houdini sounds like he was an asshole). The table of contents in both the ebook and audiobook were crap as they never broke down the women by name/group except in the ebook index which is never great.… (mere)
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
