When I Was a Witch

What happens when a woman dares to imagine power in a world that denies her even autonomy?

In this sharp, sly, and subversive tale, one of America's most original feminist voices turns the tables on society with cool precision and a dash of irony. Written at a time when women were expected to remain silent and self-sacrificing, this short work pulses with quiet rebellion and razor-edged wit.

The author, best known for The Yellow Wallpaper and Women and Economics, brings her signature clarity and fire to a deceptively simple narrative that explores themes of gender, morality, and the intoxicating possibilities of justice. With language that is as brisk as it is biting, she reveals the absurdities of social norms and the limits of polite resistance.

This piece is not a fantasy — though it flirts with the supernatural — but rather a psychological lens focused on the everyday constraints placed on women, and the quiet rage that builds in response. Underneath the humor lies a serious question: what would change if women had the power not only to speak, but to act?

Provocative, compact, and disturbingly relevant, this story is a testament to the author's lifelong commitment to social reform, equality, and unflinching honesty. It may be brief, but it leaves a lasting mark.

Ideal for listeners interested in feminist thought, early 20th-century literature, or stories that challenge conventions with elegance and intellect.
