Delving into the persecution and oppression women have faced for centuries on multiple fronts, with religion often serving as a primary justification for their subjugation, Anonymous Anomalous serves as a tribute to the countless women who, simply due to their 'otherness' or 'uniqueness', lost their lives under the guise of religious dogma. This homage commemorates their sacrifice by portraying them in a manner typically reserved for religious saints and martyrs, thus transcending their former designation as 'witches' to heralding them as warriors.
