      Når noen av dagens voksne, kvinnelige historikere møtes, hender det at vi mimrer om vår egen tid som hovedfagsstudenter. Vi tenker tilbake på et historiefag som var sterkt mannsdominert.

Som unge kvinner var vi forundret og rystet over den ...

I denne artikkelen vil jeg undersøke hvordan den demonologiske kontstruksjonen av trolldom kommer fram under rettssaker mot de som angivelig skulle ha utført den.
