The nobility and excellence of women -- pt. 2. The defects and vices of men. 330 $aA gifted poet, a women's rights activist, and an expert on moral and natural philosophy, Lucrezia Marinella (1571-1653) was known throughout Italy as the leading female intellectual of her age. Born into a family of Venetian physicians, she was encouraged to study, and, fortunately, she did not share the fate of many of her female contemporaries, who were forced to join convents or were pressured to marry early. Marinella enjoyed a long literary career, writing mainly religious, epic, and pastoral poetry, and biographies of famous women in both verse and prose. Marinella's masterpiece, The Nobility and Excellence of Women, and the Defects and Vices of Men was first published in 1600, composed at a furious pace in answer to Giusepe Passi's diatribe about women's alleged defects. This polemic displays Marinella's vast knowledge of the Italian poetic tradition and demonstrates her ability to argue against authors of the misogynist tradition from Boccaccio to Torquato Tasso. Trying to effect real social change, Marinella argued that morally, intellectually, and in many other ways, women are superior to men. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aWomen$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aWomen$xHistory$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aWomen$zItaly$xHistory$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 676 $a305.4 700 $aMarinella$b Lucrezia$f1571-1653.$0167913 701 $aDunhill$b Anne$0997818 701 $aPanizza$b Letizia$0486928 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458649603321 996 $aThe nobility and excellence of women, and the defects and vices of men$92288439 997 $aUNINA
