In keeping with that tradition, the last book I finished reading is called "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane" by Katherine Howe. Not my normal type of book since it is a novel about the study of witches in Massachusetts in the 1680s but it was recommended to me at the "Bookbeat" where I usually go book shopping.
The author is working on her PhD is American and New England Studies and is a descendant of the people who were involved in the with trials.
It reminded me that women who were different or knew how to treat people with plants and herbs were frequently labelled as witches. Not so sure today that we don't label those women who are different by todays standards as crazy, mad or call them witches.
