Certainly it's accurate. Are you arguing that there were indeed witches in medieval times? Who burned those so-called witches? It was basic job preservation. The women had natural medical talent & were showing up the male town leaders. The peasants noticed the positive effects of those who were cared for by these natural female medical pratictioners & were instinctively following them. The women became too powerful in the community as a result--so they were burned at the stake under the guise that they were practicing evil witchcraft. Same situation for Joan of Arc. How dare a woman lead an army--burn her at the stake! There were afterall ambitious men who wanted to lead that army.
