Witchcraft and Biblical Sexism

Have you ever wondered why the Wicked Witch of the West looks the way she looks? Have you ever wondered why women were persecuted as witches and men weren't? Maybe you have never wondered these things, but these are the kinds of crazy questions I attempt to answer in this project. Backed by my own scholarly research, I uncover the reason why witches are always women, and why those women have pointed hats and warted faces.
