Book Synopsis
The accounts, representing the experiences of girls and women from different classes and geographical regions, include the trials' vastly divergent outcomes ranging from burning at the stake to exoneration.

Trade Review
The essays are all very polished, extremely informative and give a most interesting cross-section of themes. -- Henry Kamen Revista Canadiense De Estudios Hispanicos All of the essays here are of high quality and display a careful, probing reading of problematic sources. Far from being simply a series of microhistories, these essays, viewed collectively, highlight important issues in the study of the Inquisition, the role of women, and the complexities of familial and social relations in the early modern period. -- Elizabeth A. Lehfeldt Sixteenth Century Journal
