But instead, at sixteen, her father forced her into a Benedictine convent. To protest her confinement, Tarabotti composed polemical works exposing the many injustices perpetrated against women of her day. Paternal Tyranny, the first of these works, is a fiery but carefully argued manifesto against the oppression of women by the Venetian patriarchy. Denouncing key misogynist texts of the era, Tarabotti shows how despicable it was for Venice, a republic that prided itself on its political liberties, to deprive its women of rights accorded even to foreigners. She accuses parents of treating convents as dumping grounds for disabled, illegitimate, or otherwise unwanted daughters. Finally, through compelling feminist readings of the Bible and other religious works, Tarabotti demonstrates that women are clearly men's equals in God's eyes. An avenging angel who dared to speak out for the rights of women nearly four centuries ago, Arcangela Tarabotti can now finally be heard.Other voice in early modern Europe.Monastic and religious life of womenItalyVeniceWomenItalyVeniceSocial conditionsPatriarchyReligious aspectsCatholic ChurchWomenReligious aspectsCatholic ChurchElectronic books.Monastic and religious life of womenWomenSocial conditions.PatriarchyReligious aspectsCatholic Church.WomenReligious aspectsCatholic Church.305.42Tarabotti Arcangela223346Panizza Letizia486928MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451062703321Paternal tyranny2216441UNINA
