This unit examines perceptions of women in Western societies from the Middle Ages through to the eighteenth century. It explores witchcraft episodes from Britain and Europe from a macroperspective, and from Salem, Massachusetts, from various microperspectives. The aim of the unit is to examine different ways of interpreting primary source material. These documents provide fascinating insights into the ways in which women and men have been perceived both by contemporaries and historians.
