Best Answer

Often women accused their enemies or people with whom they did not get along of being witches. Often those enemies were women.

EDIT:

While the above is true, the Salem Trials differ in the fact that we don't know what caused the girls to make the accusations. We don't know if they did in consciously or were under the influence or a physical or mental ailment. That said, we don't know why so many women were accused.

It must also be said that men were accused in Salem as well.
