Studying the lives of colonial women can be a difficult undertaking. Ferreting out basic information, from a birthday to a maiden name, is often impossible. This is particularly challenging when one comes across a woman who is described as mentally unwell. What does it mean to be “crazed in her understanding,” “melancholy,” or “one part off the moon”?
In this presentation, we will discuss several women involved in the Salem witch trials who appear to have struggled with mental health issues. We will consider how these records paint a picture of each of these seventeenth-century women, providing clues about their personal struggles.
Join us on Friday, March 15st at 6:00 pm EST for this free virtual lecture. The presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum website and YouTube page for future accessibility. No registration is required.
