In 1895, Bridget Cleary was killed by those closest to her.Convicted she had been taken by fairies and replaced by a changeling, her death has long been misremembered as folklore. In truth, it was the result of sustained domestic violence, collective belief, and a legal system that failed to protect her.Drawing on contemporary trial records, newspaper accounts, and social history, The Burning of Bridget Cleary strips away myth to examine how power, belief, and authority converged to erase a woman who resisted submission.This is not a story about superstition. It is a true-crime investigation into violence, accountability, and a woman the law refused to save.
