In fifteenth-century Germany, women were singled out as witches for the first time in history, this book explores why. Sigrid Brauner examines the connections among three central developments in early modern Germany: a shift in gender roles for women, the rise of a new urban ideal of femininity, and the witch hunts that swept across Europe from 1435 to 1750.
