Abstract

Medieval society was misogynistic before 1500, but why don’t we see witch hunt before? What changed around 1500? Although majority of witches at this time were women, but nevertheless there were men who were prosecuted for witchcraft too, how do we explain that if we explain all witch hunt by the argument of misogyny? They are all worth considering.
