Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments: Bewitching Stories of "Hysterical" Women
$19.99 online at Bookshop.org
A spirit wanders the Scottish moors, desperate for answers. An empress and her mistress seek revenge in the Chinese imperial court. A Black freewoman scavenges for truth among Confederate dead. A damsel flees to a convent to escape a knight in obsessive armor. Across time and place, women have been labeled crazy, hysterical, witches. That label was once a death sentence and remains a way for those in power to discredit empowered women. There is power in defiance, reclamation, and embracing one's inner witch. With a foreword by M.B. Thurman, this collection presents nine stories of feminine love, rage, and empowerment imbued with witchcraft: cursed women, charming smiles, and enchanted ever-afters.
