How to Kill a Witch: Witch Hunts, Patriarchy and the Fight for Justice

Claire Mitchell KC & Zoe Venditozzi

From 16th-century witch trials to modern-day scapegoating, the story of persecution is far from over. In their Sunday Times bestseller How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy, Claire Mitchell KC and Zoe Venditozzi uncover the dark history of Scotland’s witch hunts and the systems of fear, power and misogyny behind them.
Co-founders of the acclaimed Witches of Scotland campaign, and hosts of the award-winning Witches of Scotland podcast, Claire and Zoe explore the stories of those accused as witches between 1563 and 1736 — and the campaign that led to official recognition and pardons.
A powerful, darkly humorous conversation about history, justice and the dangers of persecution — asking whether witch hunts could ever happen again.
