What makes the Modern Age “Modern”? Is it the same for men and women?

Entering the meanderings of Italian and European archives, the historians Natalie Zemon Davis and Arlette Farge invite you to discover the countless traces left by the women of those centuries.
In the volume we encounter famous queens such as Elizabeth Tudor, Catherine de' Medici and Maria Theresa of Austria; travelers such as Jeanne Baret, Anne Bonny and Mary Read; artists such as Marietta Robusti and Artemisia Gentileschi; revolutionaries such as Marie de Gournay, Arcangela Tarabotti and Olympe de Gouges.

Alongside best-known names, stories of nuns, pirate women, laborers and slaves also emerge to show a complex picture in which women's actions and thoughts intersect with those of men: in the struggle for the recognition of rights, in exploration, in politics and education.

Inside the volume Qr code links to teaching materials and insights for teachers and educators.
