"Non erano streghe a bruciare.
Erano donne.

Donne che erano viste come:
Molto belle.
Molto colte e intelligenti.

Con troppa acqua nel pozzo,
o una bella piantagione...

Chi aveva una voglia.

Donne troppo abili con la medicina erboristica...

troppo forti,
troppo tranquille,
troppo rosse di capelli.

Donne che avevano un forte legame con la natura.
Donne che ballavano,
o che cantavano.

Qualsiasi donna rischiava di essere bruciata nel 1600,
le sorelle testimoniavano e si rivoltavano l'una contro l'altra mentre i loro bambini venivano immersi nel ghiaccio.

I bambini venivano torturati per confessare le loro esperienze con le "streghe" con finte esecuzioni nei forni.

Le donne venivano gettate in acqua e se potevano galleggiare, venivano incolpate e giustiziate.

Se affondavano e annegavano, erano innocenti.

Sono state gettate dalle scogliere.

Sono state poste in buche profonde nel terreno.

Perché scrivo questo?
Perché conoscere la nostra storia è importante quando stiamo costruendo un nuovo mondo.

Per dare voce alle donne massacrate, per dare loro una possibilità di pace.

Non erano streghe a bruciare.
Erano donne"
