What makes a woman a witch? Financial independence

Women aren’t being burnt at the stake any more, but there is still risk and violence implicit in the label ‘witch’

When Katherine Harrison’s husband passed away, she became the wealthiest woman in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Rather than wallow in her new status as a young widow she decided to run the farm she’d inherited on her own. She took up ranching and a slew of other hobbies including brewing ale, spinning yarn and beekeeping. She traded honey and beeswax for candles. She was by all accounts, headstrong, outspoken and clever.

In many corners of the internet, Harrison’s interests are having a moment. Craft brewers have been spruiking classic ales for years, urban beekeeping is surging in popularity, and people are looking to textile-based crafts as ways to practise mindfulness.

The moment I knew: We discussed the pill on our first date, kissed on our second. By the third, I knew he was the one

In the 1960s, 19-year-old Anne Ring was set up with Ian and felt an immediate attraction

• Find more stories from the moment I knew series

It was June 1961, I was 19, and innocently dating in the ways of that time – I’d had several boyfriends, had my heart broken once and had broken two.

A platonic friend decided I should meet Ian, as we both liked to talk. So he invited Ian – who was 20 – and me to dinner. It was at our friend’s family’s home with Beethoven’s violin concerto playing in the background, and he was right. From the outset Ian and I were totally immersed in our conversation, and I felt an immediate connection and attraction to him. Driving me home, he asked me out the following Saturday.

Tribunal dos EUA impede Trump de aplicar ordem que dificulta voto pelo correio em 23 estados

O presidente Donald Trump discursa no jantar da Associação de Correspondentes da Casa Branca no Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, na sexta-feira, 24 de julho de 2026 AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein Um tribunal federal de apelações dos Estados Unidos decidiu neste sábado (25) manter suspensa uma ordem executiva do presidente Donald Trump que estabelece novas regras para a votação pelo correio em 23 estados. A medida integra a estratégia do governo para as eleições de novembro, quando os americanos definirão o controle do Congresso. ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp A decisão foi tomada pela Corte de Apelações do 1º Circuito dos EUA, com sede em Boston. O tribunal rejeitou um pedido do governo para derrubar uma liminar concedida em 25 de junho a um grupo de estados governados por democratas. Agora no g1 Na ocasião, um juiz de primeira instância concluiu que trechos centrais da ordem executiva eram inconstitucionais. Com o entendimento mantido pela corte de apelação, essas regras permanecem suspensas enquanto o processo continua em análise na Justiça. Ordem executiva previa novas exigências para o voto pelo correio Assinada por Trump em março, a ordem determinava que o governo federal elaborasse uma lista de eleitores aptos a votar pelo correio em cada estado. O texto também previa que as cédulas fossem enviadas apenas aos eleitores cadastrados nessas listas e exigia o uso de envelopes com códigos de barras individuais para rastreamento. A iniciativa faz parte da campanha do presidente por regras mais rígidas para o voto por correspondência. Desde a derrota nas eleições de 2020, Trump afirma, sem apresentar provas, que houve fraude eleitoral e defende mudanças no sistema de votação. Especialistas já avaliavam que o decreto enfrentaria contestação na Justiça, já que a organização das eleições é, tradicionalmente, responsabilidade dos estados. Apesar das críticas ao voto pelo correio, Trump utilizou esse método em uma eleição especial na Flórida na semana anterior à assinatura do decreto. Questionado, afirmou que recorreu ao sistema porque, como presidente, tinha "muitas coisas diferentes" para fazer. *Com informações da agência de notícias Reuters
