Synopsis

Inspiring and astonishing tales of the most amazing women in history In Renaissance history and literature, women almost always appear as silent, passive icons of purity and beauty. But contrary to popular belief, not all women of that era settled for this supporting role in society. These refreshing heroines made an indelible mark with their monumental accomplishments-and with their attitudes! Outrageous Women of the Renaissance relates the unusual stories of 15 of these brave and innovative women. Readers will marvel at the originality and talent of pioneering Italian painter Elisabetta Sirani, take inspiration from the life of Celtic freedom fighter Grace O'Malley, and discover the genius of Sophie Brahe, an astronomer and businesswoman. Revealing all the splendor and cultural vitality of the Renaissance period, these stories of remarkable lives will encourage, delight, and surprise young readers.
