María Hesse asks about the villains in the story, the
witches in the fairy tales, the capricious and cruel
women who changed the path of history: a brilliant
twist on the fictional figures like the evil stepmother
and Helen of Troy; real women like Salome and
Joanna the Mad, and up through present-day
figures like Monica Lewinsky and Björk: women who
come with a history of blame and slander, and the
stigma of having conjured evil.
