This is a book about how the image of the "witch" is born and how, through fear, exile, and punishment, a woman, her knowledge, and her body are silenced.
At the center of the study is a generalized image: a folk healer, "the devil's bride," a woman who does not obey the rules. Michelet sees her not as a threat, but as a response to the cruelty of the Inquisition—a figure of resistance that embodies repressed folk memory.
This text combines historical background with the author's poetic observation and becomes a sensitive narrative of an experience that has long been given no words. His book reads like a belated hymn to woman, repressed experience, and the dark side of European culture.
