During the Italian Enlightenment, Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Giuseppa Eleonora Barbapiccola, Diamante Medaglia Faini, and Aretafila Savini de' Rossi were afforded unprecedented deference in academic debates and epitomized the increasing ability of women to influence public discourse. The Contest for Knowledge reveals how these four women used the methods and themes of their male counterparts to add their voices to the vigorous and prolific debate over the education of women during the eighteenth century. In the texts gathered here, the women discuss the issues they themselves thought most urgent for the equality of women in Italian society specifically and in European culture more broadly. Their thoughts on this important subject reveal how crucial the eighteenth century was in the long history of debates about women in the academy.Other voice in early modern Europe.WomenEducationItalyHistory18th centurySourcesWomenItalyIntellectual life18th centurySourcesWomenItalySocial conditions18th centurySourcesEducationItalyHistory18th centurySourcesItalyIntellectual life18th centurySourcesItalySocial conditions18th centurySourcesElectronic books.WomenEducationHistoryWomenIntellectual lifeWomenSocial conditionsEducationHistory370.82/0945/09033Agnesi Maria Gaetana, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut476915Agnesi Maria Gaetana1718-1799.476915Messbarger Rebecca Marie907029Findlen Paula542857Accademia di Padova.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458372303321The contest for knowledge2028889UNINA
