Lucrezia Marinelli (c.1571–1653), also known as Lucrezia Marinelli Vacca and Lucrezia Marinella (pen name), was an Italian author, poet, and one of the early advocates of women's rights in Italy.[1] She is the author of several noted works such as La Nobilta et l'eccellenza delle donne, co' difetti et mancamenti degli uomoni (The nobility and excellences of women, and the defects and vices of men), Vita di Maria Vergine Imperatrice dell'universo, L'Enrico overo Bisanzio acquistato and others.
Biographical Background
Lucrezia Marinella was born in Venice, Italy.[2] Although a noted author of her time, little has been documented about Marinella's personal life.[3] She came from a family of physicians and married one herself. Her father's professional interest in women's health is a supposed influence in her work. Her family supported her education as well as women's education at large.[4]
