  • Before the 15th and 16th centuries, medievalists perceived female devil worshippers as simply “foolish,” you know, in that female way; they were “duped” by dark forces rather than inherently evil themselves. As with many medieval views about women and magic, that changed in the early modern period. Soon women were drawn as happy to make contracts with the devil. At least they have more agency?

  • больше методов/способов\возможностей.

    Здесь слово agency имеет не прямое значение, на мой взгляд.

    Поэтому надо хорошенько покопаться в словаре, прежде чем придти к окончательному решению.
