About this ebook
Profiles of thirteen women accused of and bullied for being witches, including Joan of Arc, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Saint Catherine of Siena, and Anne Boleyn.
They dared to stand up to kings . . . Think for themselves . . . Even practice medicine . . . and what was their reward? To be labeled a witch. This illustrated guide of the witches of history explores the lives of thirteen different women who were falsely accused of witchcraft. Using an infographic style, History’s Witches will fascinate middle graders through teens with the rich history of accusing women of witchcraft.
“History’s Witches contains many invaluable lessons, not the least of which is that strong, intelligent, and passionate women may be called names, but they can’t be held back. It’s a great read for women of any age and proof that history can be rewritten.” —Dr. Lois P. Frankel, New York Times-bestselling author of Nice Girls Don’t Get Rich
“History’s Witches takes the notion that the past is boring and colorless and infuses it with character, wit and magic. Lisa Graves’ bright and charming historical vignettes are a delightful way to experience the stories of oft forgotten women. It’s storytelling at its most creative.” —Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider, The History Chicks
“A visually lush and whimsical introduction to some of history’s most fascinating women.” —Barb Alexander, The Tudor Tutor
“If you are looking for a fun, interactive, and historically powerful resource to talk about the impacts of bullying, then check out the latest in Positive Girl Texts: History’s Witches!” —Day of the Girl Summit
