Talk:Widdershins by Helen Steadman

From Book Trigger Warnings

Context

It's a well-done fictionalized retelling of Witch Trials, but it's not for the faint of heart. This is what I've based these warnings on (proceed with caution):

Religious zealots blaming "midwives" for their wives dying during childbirth. Calling them witches, stripping them nude publicly, sexually assaulting them with their hands, pricking them with needles, murdering them when found "guilty". One man had sex with his wife to be. Got abducted by the military and died at sea. So she got hauled away for being pregnant outside of marriage. Basically stuck in a prison labor camp for it, despite her father-in-law vouching for her.
