| Sumario: | La Bella e Dotta Difesa delle Donne is an Italian critical edition edited by María Mascarell García, focusing on Luigi Dardano's 16th-century work advocating for women's intellectual and social rights. The book is part of the MenForWomen project, which explores male voices in the historical debate on women's rights, known as the Querella de las Mujeres. This edition revives Dardano's text, first published posthumously in 1554, highlighting its linguistic and cultural significance through a modern Italian translation. Dardano's work, originally written in a mix of Italian, Latin, and Greek, argues for women's education and participation in cultural life, aligning with other pro-feminine works of the Renaissance. The intended audience includes scholars and readers interested in gender studies, Renaissance literature, and historical linguistics.
