They seemed to reimagine witches as complicated beings pushed to the outskirts of society by society.

The Witch in particular was called wildly feminist by Wired, and Jex Blackmore, a spokesperson for the Satanic Temple, said that The Witch was more than just a horror movie, but a film about female rebellion and what it means to be seen as an outsider, and the impact of patriarchal societies creating witches out of women who don't fit the rules.

So the rise of the powerful, complicated, and serious witch coincided directly with Me Too and Time's Up, and a feeling, at least I felt for sure, that real progress was being made.
