You don’t have to agree with Matthew Hopkins, Witchfinder General on everything to acknowledge people’s sincere concerns around goodwives bearing the devil’s mark
I don't know why this is so fucking hard for people to get. Con artists always tap into people's real fears and concerns. Every get-rich-quick scheme, fake cancer cure, phony weight loss treatment.

"He's tapping into real concerns" is not a defense. He is lying about the solutions.

Only the Mead Hall Wench, unless some of the goodwives are moonlighting.

Mincing tearfully to Big Daddy Patriarchy that I did see a Curiously Tall Woman out jogging near some of the frail and godly goodwives

“Look, look, I’m all for burning all the goodwives* we don’t like in town… but can’t we do it with a little pizzazz? A High Inquisitor, maybe? How about some anti-witch drip & merch to sell to the crowd? Then we’re talking a good time!”
Just left the great American state fair where I watched Michael Knowles debate a ten year old girl about the Salem witch trials in front of DOZENS of people

Current page 39 has one of my fave little similes to describe the jettied London houses:

Homes seemed to Alexander to lean towards each other like gossipping goodwives, sooty windows like dark eyes with inquisitive eyebrows formed from the sharply angled roofs.
It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 39?

If you haven’t gotten to that page, how about a post from page 3 instead?

Props a leg-stump upon a crutch,
Jiggles his tin cup at the goodwives.

Love this, especially the description of the homes being like gossiping goodwives!

I was thinking of the Midwife’s Tale. Thanks for Goodwives, which is also a great book.

Plus, those goodwives had no refrigerators to preserve whatever meager feast they’d already prepared. What were they supposed to do: throw away valuable calories in favor of Scrooge’s impromptu roast goose?

they're like lil fcking puritanical Goodwives handing out judgement & scarlet letters & cultural erasure...for toasted ravioli, a dish that centers the food story & legend of the Italian-American community in St Louis

ignorant, certainly heightened to the point that James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England and gave the #ChristoFascists the fucking #KingJamesBible which is simply #Excrement disguised as a #Book

The transcription is: "Examinations taken before John Pott, Esq., Governor, 25th day of March [1629]", H.R. McIlwaine, ed. Minutes of the Council and General Court of Virginia (2nd ed, Richmond, 1979), pp. 194-195. Smart discussion in Kathleen Brown's book Goodwives, Nasty Wenches (1996).

I watched V and Colony. I know how this will go for the Goodwives of Cloud.

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of The Midwife’s Tale, which is indeed late c18-early c19? Goodwives covers 1650-1750.

I've been invited out to Darien Connecticut in 2 weeks as a Special Guest.

YES. For example: Andor has Queens as a matter of tradition, but in Andor Rand is still al'Thor because of his father. "Goodwives" still have their husbands' names. It often says "these woman things are important!" but does not in any way change what are "woman things".

Worse for me is the entry above it for the Goodwife.

The authors considers this the standard behaviour of a married woman (definition of "goodwife" is the female head of a household)?

Responds to "seeming threat" by screaming for help and accusing people of crimes they (possibly) didn't commit?

150 pages of cryptids, spirits, and demons. And a party of magistrates, gravediggers, and goodwives. But who is the witch? Find out in this epic adventure across the continent!
