In \u003ci\u003ePublishing Women\u003c\/i\u003e, Diana Robin finally brings to life this story of women's cultural and intellectual leadership in early modern Italy, illuminating the factors behind--and the significance of--their sudden dominance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on the collective publication process, Robin portrays communities in Naples, Venice, Rome, Siena, and Florence, where women engaged in activities that ranged from establishing literary salons to promoting religious reform. Her innovative cultural history considers the significant roles these women played in tandem with men, rather than separated from them. In doing so, it collapses the borders between women's history, Renaissance and Reformation studies, and book history to evoke a historical moment that catapulted women's writings and women-sponsored books into the public sphere for the first time anywhere in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Robin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226721566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226721569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.45w x 1.10d","brand":"Diana Robin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621661257983,"sku":"9780226721569","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/publishing-women-diana-robin-9780226721569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
