🧙♀️ Episode Summary:
In 1706, Virginia held its first and only recorded trial by ducking—strapping a woman to a chair, tossing her in the river, and calling it justice. That woman was Grace Sherwood: midwife, widow, and suspected witch.
She wore pants. She grew herbs. She sued her neighbors. And when she didn’t drown? They threw her in jail anyway.
This week, we’re diving into colonial paranoia, the politics of pants, and how a river decided Grace’s fate.
