Newcastle women refused to be silenced. Great thanks to @HistoriaHWA and @novelcarolyn for this highly insightful - and really lovely - interview.
In the 1640s "women, of necessity, had extraordinary freedoms," says @adberginwriter, author of The Wicked of the Earth. "Accusations of witchcraft were a uniquely effective method of silencing women." Read his interview with @novelcarolyn in Historia at historiamag.com/historia-int…

In her startling new movie “Witches,” Elizabeth Sankey draws a line from witch trials to “The Wizard of Oz” to postpartum moms. “This was a film made by a mad woman,” she says. trib.al/0EN3xQ6

"Seeing the witches really embrace their power and for the film not to end with them having that stripped away, is just so refreshing." For @AnOtherMagazine I spoke to @sankles about the films that inspired her brilliant, harrowing new documentary Witches anothermag.com/design-living…

WITCHES de Elizabeth Sankey es un documental espectacular que utiliza la representación de brujas en el cine para hablar sobre la depresión posparto de la directora y de las miles de mujeres que sufren de ella cada año. A mi parecer, es un documental que todo el mundo debería ver, para combatir el estigma que existe alrededor de la salud mental de las mujeres y especialmente de las mujeres en una de las etapas más vulnerables de sus vidas. El suicido es la causa de muerte número 1 de madres en el Reino Unido, y por más difícil que sea es imperante enseñarle tanto a mujeres como hombres acerca de los riesgos que el embarazo y la maternidad pueden tener en un aspecto psicológico. No es algo que debe ser taboo, no es algo que debe dar pena, y mis respetos para Elizabeth y todos los involucrados por tener la valentía para hacer este documental.

“It is a film I will show to my children, to friends, to any would-be parents. It shows us that dreadful place where, but for the grace of God, so many of us might go, and tells us we are not alone there” @CateWheatley reviews Witches, on @mubiuk Friday. buff.ly/4eBwUjQ

WITCHES is out on @mubi globally this Friday the 22nd. Here is a post from my birthday in 2020 when I was allowed home from the ward to celebrate with Jeremy and our teeny tiny baby. Still impressed that I managed to plan these matching outfits while so unwell! ❤️
A month ago today bebe and I began our stay at the mother and baby unit. This has been such an intense, terrifying and insanely difficult time. I've never experienced anything like it, and I think it's safe to say neither has Jeremy. I was hospitalised for a mental illness?!
