Katherine Howe on the Salem Witch-Hunt

Witch Hunt

Dec 1 2022 • 1 hr 3 mins

Presenting New York Times best selling author Katherine Howe. She discusses how we should view the individuals from the Salem, MA  witch trial history. Katherine gives us an exciting preview of her current fiction book project on 17th century female pirates:: A True Account of Hannah Masury's Sojourn Amongst the Pyrates, Written by Herself: a novel. We continue the conversation inquiring with our advocacy questions: Why do we witch hunt? How do we witch hunt? How do we stop hunting witches?
