So now I am fired up! And angry! I'm angry that for centuries our patriarchal system has been oppressing and undermining women. And I'm angry that when said women did not conform to societal expectations, they were labelled as ‘delicate', ‘mad' or in this case ‘WITCH!' This is a deeply unsettling and atmospheric read, made all the more appalling because it is based on true events in Essex and Sussex in the 1600's. Matthew Hopkins is a true psychopath and misogynist and is one of the most detestable characters I have had the displeasure to meet in years. The hypocrisy and injustice of this world just made me once again recognise the continued and continuous ‘witch hunts' that go in today's society. Drops micsmashes everything
