Answer:

Through a series of tests

Step-by-step explanation:

One of which where if the person was bound and had to sink or float in a lake was actually scientifically unfair. If you float in the water, they were considered a witch. However, woman have more fat than men and are prone to float. So lots of women failed that trial.

Women were judged unfairly through science usage and prejudice for what the people considered to be a witch.
