“American history sometimes forgets that we were a society before the American Revolution. One of the more famous, and darker, events from this time was the Salem Witch Trials. Marilynne K. Roach researched these trials so much that she brings us into the courtroom and lets us feel the pain of the six most famous women. For a second, like witchcraft, we step into the shoes of Bridget Bishop and Ann Putnam, and feel how they felt on those final days. The book is super detailed and fantastically informative on the subject. For a novice, it’s an eye opening piece of work, especially with all the hard work that Roach obviously put into the book. Each page drips with an honest and impartial narrative. . . . You really feel like you are there, in the seventeenth century, watching and seeing these women. . . . Roach has done a great job in honoring the memories of these women with a tasteful and harmonious book.”
—Kevin Brown, San Francisco Book Review / Sacramento Book Review
“For those of you that are fascinated with history this is one book that you will definitely love. . . . A magnificent job. It is such a comprehensive book. There are so many details that are not mentioned in the usual discussions about Salem, much less the witch trials. This is a prime example of the ability for human beings to inflict cruelty on one another based upon greed or jealousy among a number of different factors that went into the accusations. . . . People that read SIX WOMEN OF SALEM will get a better understanding of what exactly happened during this period of time and just how crazy things were. . . . If you are a history buff, you will love Marilynne Roach’s book.”

are many different ideas and images that are conjured. And
():
when you were let's say sixteen, and you're in the colonies,
the image of a witch is a specific thing. Can
you tell us about that? In six was a legal
definition of someone who had a familiar spirit, and it
was assumed you knew with them men, but they were
in cahoots with an evil spirit, a little demon or
():
imp and in order to do that, you're in at
some point been in contact with the devil, knowingly or unknowingly. Uh.
Because it was understood by the ministers that humans did
not have the ability to perform magic. Therefore, if there
is magic being done, it's not being done by the person,
