Angelina Jolie opens up ina new essay.
's contributing editors, the actress and activist has taken her writing skills to a new outlet. Rather than give a traditional interview to** for its September issue, Jolie has written her own cover story, which the magazine published on Monday.
But there's more substance to Jolie's story than initially meets the eye. The actress uses the topic of maleficence as a jumping off point to tackle the broader historical phenomenon of how so often women who resist being silenced or controlled have been persecuted.
As for some of the women who, "like the ultimate conspiracy theory," have been blamed for things that couldn't be explained, Jolie points to Joan of Arc. "The initial charges against her included witchcraft, and she was accused of dancing near a fairy tree at night—textbook witchy behavior. It is so ludicrous that it almost seems funny, until you consider that a woman dancing or singing in public is viewed as illegal or indecent in many countries today.
