Title:
La nobiltà et l'eccellenza delle donne, co' diffetti et mancamenti de gli huomini
Description:
Venetian intellectual and philosopher Lucrezia Marinella wrote a bold response to Giuseppe Passi’s misogynist Defects of Women (1599). Arguing that women’s moral superiority leads to their intellectual superiority, she demanded freedom, power, and equality for women. In this expanded edition, she traces misogyny in intellectual traditions back to Aristotle and attributes the motives of misogynist writers to a desire to exclude women from public life.
