About this Event

Join us on March 5th for our first virtual lecture of 2026, “Profoundly Vulnerable: The Story of Four Witchcraft Accusations,” presented in celebration of the 39th annual Women’s History Month.

There were many reasons why a woman in seventeenth-century New England might be accused of witchcraft, but those who were alone, poor, and, perhaps, quarrelsome were in particular danger. We will focus on four women targeted during the Salem witch trials. Rachel Clinton, Sarah Good, Margaret Scott, and Ann Dolliver each had promising beginnings in the New World but, through no fault of their own, found themselves in desperate circumstances.

This free virtual program will be hosted on Thursday, March 5th at 6:00 pm ET. Registration is required for this event. Please register here.
