Stevenson, Jane (, Reader in Post-Classical Latin and Renaissance Studies, University of Aberdeen.)
A completely new investigation of educated women in pre-modern Europe, based entirely on original archival research in twelve countries, bringing to light an unsuspected treasure trove of women's writing in Latin, and requiring a complete reevaluation of the idea that all women had 'no access to education' before the nineteenth century. It includes a finding guide to women's poetry in Latin, and all texts are translated.
