She responded to Francesco Buoninsegni's \u003ci\u003eAgainst the Vanities of Women\u003c\/i\u003e (1638) with the \u003ci\u003eAntisatire\u003c\/i\u003e (1644), a defense of women's fashions and a denunciation of men, but also a strong condemnation of men's treatment of women and of the subordination of women in society. Both Buoninsegni and Tarabotti write with the exaggeration and absurd arguments typical of Menippean satire; they flaunt their knowledge of ancient and contemporary literature in a prose interspersed with poetry and replete with the astonishing Baroque conceits that delighted their contemporaries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Other Voice in Early Modern Women: The Toronto Series volume 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcangela Tarabotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0866986227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866986229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Arcangela Tarabotti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072853209343,"sku":"9780866986229","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b64acee-6320-4b9e-a29f-504e1c13ca77.jpg?v=1685444318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antisatire-arcangela-tarabotti-9780866986229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
