Presentation

My participation in the MenforWomen project is aimed at the study and publication of the treatise Reasoning for Donna Lavinia, her daughter, by Annibale Guasco (1586) and other documents by the author. In collaboration with the research group, I also propose to discuss related texts on the 'formation' of female identity (by, among others, Castiglione, Piccolomini and Speroni).
