Radical Renaissance Women - Part IV
with Alexandra Lawrence

We are all familiar with the idea of the ‘Renaissance Man’—the polymath geniuses, scholars, princes, courtiers, writers, and artists that lived and worked from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. But what of the women not included the traditional canon?
This series is the fourth part of the Radical Renaissance Women course which revisits early modern society by looking at some of the less traditional and more radical figures in Italy at the time: the creative and powerful women whose names have been left out of the mainstream history books.
Celebrate Women’s History Month and be inspired by some of the most highly educated and intellectual women of Renaissance Italy. These are the literary powerhouses, brilliant humanists, STEM superstars, and women who were on the front lines of the religious reforms raging in sixteenth-century Europe.
