Show Notes
Also known as the "Hammer of Witches," the Malleus Maleficarum was used for 300 years as a handbook to aid in the persecution and execution of an unknown number of innocent people. With a particular focus on women, the Malleus stands today as one of the most misogynistic and terrifying texts ever written.
