Orlando Furioso
She published nine volumes of poetry, in Florence, Venice, Naples and Lucca between 1548 and 1567. In Venice, she published the chivalric romance "Discorso sopra il Principio di Tutti I Canti di Orlando Furioso", a poem linked to Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, which was reprinted thirteen times. In it she defended women from their detractors, but laments that not more have literary pursuits.
