Bridget Bishop: Saucy Tavern-Keeper, or Devil’s Lady?

As a small introductory post, Bridget Bishop of Salem Town was the first person to be executed for witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials. She was most likely a suspect of witchcraft because she was outspoken, dressed provocatively, and owned taverns. However, she may have been confused with another possible witch, Sarah Bishop of Salem Village, and been executed in her stead, which is pretty messed up. But so begins my exploration into this fascinating woman, and the mark she made in history.
