Followed by Q&A.About this Event“What else is woman but a foe to friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil…” So claimed the 15th-century writers of the Malleus Maleficarum, or ‘Hammer of the Witches,’ a handbook for identifying women thought to be conspiring with the Devil. How did women come to be seen this way? And what impact did this publication have on the lasting stereotype of the witch as a harmful, evil woman?In this talk, Dr Julia Phillips examines the circumstances that created the malevolent female witch and why she became such a powerful figure. We will trace witchcraft from ancient times to today, showing how women were cast as disruptive forces in their communities. The talk concludes by considering the role of women in 21st-century witchcraft, contrasting it with Early modern Europe.Doors open at 6pm, talk starts at 6:15pm - come down early to grab a good seat!Follow us on IG @seedtalksSpeaker Bio:Dr Julia Phillips is Hons Senior Research Associate and lecturer at the University of Bristol.
