Rather than directly refuting prevailing wisdom, Agrippa uses women's superiority as a rhetorical device and overturns the misogynistic interpretations of the female body in Greek medicine, in the Bible, in Roman and canon law, in theology and moral philosophy, and in politics. He raised the question of why women were excluded and provided answers based not on sex but on social conditioning, education, and the prejudices of their more powerful oppressors. His declamation, disseminated through the printing press, illustrated the power of that new medium, soon to be used to generate a larger reformation of religion. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aWomen$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aFeminism$vEarly works to 1800 610 $aagrippa, feminism, gender, women, masculinity, superiority, rhetoric, public sphere, misogyny, exclusion, sexism, bible, religion, christianity, catholicism, medicine, ancient greece, roman empire, canon, law, theology, philosophy, ethics, morality, politics, social conditioning, education, prejudice, oppression, nonfiction, norms, femininity, liberty, rights, career, labor, ambition, art. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aFeminism 676 $a305.4 700 $aAgrippa von Nettesheim$b Heinrich Cornelius$f1486-1535.$0489574 701 $aRabil$b Albert$0169959 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784982803321 996 $aDeclamation on the nobility and preeminence of the female sex$93725607 997 $aUNINA
