Sumario: | This volume explores the literary contributions of Agnolo Firenzuola, focusing on his works that praise and defend women. It is part of the 'Men for Women' project, which examines male voices in the historical Querelle des Femmes in Italy from the 13th to 17th centuries. The book includes a critical bilingual edition of Firenzuola's 'Epístola en alabanza de las mujeres' and 'Diálogo de la belleza de las mujeres', edited and translated by María-Isabel García-Pérez and Sara Velázquez-García. The authors aim to highlight Firenzuola's advocacy for women's intellectual capabilities and beauty in a male-dominated literary landscape. It targets scholars interested in gender studies, Italian literature, and historical gender debates.
