About this book

Fearless Wives and Frightened Shrews: The Construction of the Witch in Early Modern Germany by Brauner, Rudolf. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781558492974.

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.
