Brings to life women's cultural and intellectual leadership in early modern Italy, illuminating the significance of their sudden dominance. Focusing on the collective publication process, this work portrays communities in Italy, where women engaged in activities that ranged from establishing literary salons to promoting religious reform.
"Vivid and compellingDiana Robin traces and links together the lives and writings of a large cast of characters - women writers, their publishers, the political leaders and popes with whom they were embroiled - in a tour de force of sustained narrative into which she skillfully weaves extensive and illuminating passages of the texts she addresses." - Dale Kent, University of California, Riverside"
