The book offers an in-depth exploration of the vibrant tradition of women's writing in Italy from the fifteenth to early seventeenth centuries, challenging established historical narratives. Virginia Cox presents a fresh hypothesis regarding the emergence and decline of this literary tradition, arguing against the notion that the Counter Reformation ended it. Through a comparative analysis of women's roles in various artistic fields, she situates women's writing within broader cultural contexts, revealing how gender influences and reshapes literary history.
