“History’s Witches contains many invaluable lessons, not the least of which is that strong, intelligent, and passionate women may be called names, but they can’t be held back. It’s a great read for women of any age and proof that history can be rewritten.” —Dr. Lois P. Frankel, New York Times-bestselling author of Nice Girls Don’t Get Rich
 
“History’s Witches takes the notion that the past is boring and colorless and infuses it with character, wit and magic. Lisa Graves’ bright and charming historical vignettes are a delightful way to experience the stories of oft forgotten women. It’s storytelling at its most creative.” —Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider, The History Chicks
 
“A visually lush and whimsical introduction to some of history’s most fascinating women.” —Barb Alexander, The Tudor Tutor
