You've probably already read it, buy I thoroughly enjoyed "Agnes Bowker's Cat", which is a history of certain women via trial records. Agnes Bowker was trying to escape charges of adultery by claiming the devil appeared and had his way with her, and so she gave birth to a cat. Not her fault, can't blame her for the devil being horny...

I haven't heard of it and it sounds awesome! Fascinating story - imagine living in a society where saying you'd given birth to the devil's cat baby was preferable to admitting you'd had an affair!

I had no idea Stormy Daniels identifies as a witch. If only she had used her powers to change the course of the US election...

You're right, she did and I don't think anything would have changed the result. American voters clearly prefer a convicted felon and sexual predator in the early stages of dementia to an intelligent woman. A lot of men are still frightened of women even if they are no longer able to declare them witches and hang them or burn them.
