003 Witch Hunts: Then and Now Pt 1

In this episode of the SheSplain podcast, we explore witch hunts through a feminist lens and discuss how misogyny fits into witch hunts past and present. We learn about the book dubbed the “witch hunt manual,” Malleus Maleficarum, written in the 15th century, shortly after the invention of the printing press. A bestseller, second only to the Bible for a time, the text served as foundation for many beliefs and practices surrounding witchcraft, sorcery, and witch hunts throughout the following centuries.
