Fearless Wives and Frightened Shrews: The Construction of the Witch in Early Modern Germany
Fearless Wives and Frightened Shrews The Construction of the Witch in Early Modern Germany
Author: Sigrid Brauner, Robert H. Brown
This study explores why, in 15th-century Germany, women were singled out as witches for the first time in history. The author examines the connections between the shift in gender roles for women, the rise of a new urban ideal of femininity and the witch-hunts that spread across Europe at that time.
