Witches: What Women Do Together

"If a witch is a woman on the margins, then we're all witches … And if all women are witches because they're on the margins, then groups of women – collaborators, covens – are the witchiest of all." - Sam George-Allen in Witches: What Women Do Together

The magic of women working with, and celebrating, each other is told through the meticulously researched stories of 13 different groups of women, by writer, Kate Bush fan and musician, Sam George-Allen in her remarkable first book Witches: What Women Do Together. From nuns, to the matrilineal Mosuo in China, to teenage girls, to farmers, to a co-written chapter with Jagera and Turrbal woman Aunty Dawn Daylight Li, this is a book that shines a light on the work that women do that can be trivialized or unnoticed. We bring Sam to Verb in this special digital event to talk about this quietly rebellious, nurturing book with Jessie Bray Sharpin.
