Drawing both on archival material--wills, letters, and manuscript compositions, some presented here for the first time--and on printed writings, Ross gives us an unprecedented sense of educated early modern women's lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSponsored and often educated by their learned fathers and other male relatives within a model that Ross terms \"the intellectual family,\" female authors publicized their works within the safety of family networks. These women, including Christine de Pizan, Laura Cereta, Margaret More Roper, Lucrezia Marinella, and Bathsua Makin, did not argue for women's political equality, but they represented and often advocated women's intellectual equality. Ross demonstrates that because of their education, these women had a renaissance during the Renaissance, and that in so doing they laid the foundation for the emancipation of womankind.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 9.28 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52614053527859,"sku":"9780674034549","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/d2pnWHBUVUpOR3cyL1pUeHBDbUVGdz09.webp?v=1761864953","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-birth-of-feminism-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
