4. To what extent were the European witch-hunts a gendered phenomenon?

   Responses can take one of two main forms – you answer one question in 300-400 words or you answer two questions in 300-400 words (e.g 150-200 words each). You do not answer more than two for any single week/ response.

Format: Write your question/s out in full (not Q1) in bold with your answer underneath, in paragraph form, not dot point. Use size twelve font and 1.5 or double spacing. Write clearly and directly. Use your word count cleverly – i.e. avoid repetition or conclusions which repeat introductions. A response is a crafted piece of writing, but not an essay.

Referencing: Footnotes, but no bibliography. However, if you use in-text, you must provide a reference list.
