description: In a society where men are often complimented as "Renaissance men," why is there no equivalent phrase, "Renaissance woman?" The author searches for answers to this question by examining the art and social structures of Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, and Italian Renaissance. Her quest lays bare the roots of our patriarchal and often misogynistic society, but also explores positive historical models to guide women in the third millennium. Original.
