Lets take a journey through time and investigate various aspects of gender in early modern Europe.
Witchcraft has always been a captivating and precarious part of history. Around the 1970s it took on a whole new approach that created stereotypes and inaccurate ideologies of women during the so called “witch craze” of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Lets dig into history together and identify the reasons why women became the primary targets for witchcraft accusations, and deconstruct these pop cultural notions that we have been exposed to.
My blog, podcasts, and resources are designed to help dissect the gender dynamics in early modern Europe and reveal alternative perspectives to the lives of women from around the 1400s-1800s.
I will explore topics that discuss how gender, specifically women, lived, what they believed, and what they contributed to the evolution of society.
