Their supposed crimes have much to tell us about attitudes to women in the past, and in the present day. This book introduces sixteen women who lost their lives or lived in the long shadow of the persecutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Witches\" who, like MARGARET AITKEN, confessed, implicated others, even aided the hunters before they were burned. Nonconforming women like MARY MACLEOD, who saw their reputations tarnished when they did not bend to society's expectations. Creatures of the imagination, like Robert Burns's NANNY, who embody deep-seated associations between womanhood and the occult. \u003cp\u003eAs stories of suspected witches, healers and those reveling in the power of magic are told, we imagine the lives of these women, not as unlucky victims but instead fascinating individuals whose experiences have previously been omitted from Scotland's colorful history now challenging the status quo. As we journey through 16 short stories of women involved in the supernatural, folklore and healing, we find reflections in modern life and lessons on everything from gender politics in the workplace and reproductive rights to ableism during the Covid 19 pandemic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Are All Witches\u003c\/i\u003e reinvigorates women from the past and encourages us to find our own inner sorcerer.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mairi Kidd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black \u0026amp; White Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785304132","brand":"Black \u0026 White Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709512061065,"sku":"9781785304132","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_91ccd187-d9b2-41a0-8ca0-9c2bb9823ce0.jpg?v=1719517811","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/we-are-all-witches-bad-women-to-live-your-life-by-9781785304132","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
