CORE 003 SC - Fighting the Good Fight: Responding to Misogyny in Renaissance Italy
This course will explore some of the complex issues concerning gender relations that existed in Renaissance Italy. It will focus on the ways dominant patriarchal ideology determined that women were inferior human beings, and accordingly shaped their lives by relegating them to subordinated roles in society. The course will also focus on the women writers who challenged the biases and resulting injustices of this ideology. Students will be offered a coherent historical perspective of the period (mid 1300’s to early 1600’s) as they explore the ways women’s writing developed over time. They will also gain an understanding of the relevant ways the present has evolved in ways far different from the past, as well as the ways the past has had an impact on shaping the present.
Course Credit: 1.0
