Editorial Reviews

Italian and American scholars from a wide range of fields offer 14 essays on the flowering of women's participation in Italy's artistic and religious life from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Some discuss new material such the recently discovered collection of women's music compositions, while other provide original perspectives on well know figures such as Catherine of Siena.
