First sentence: The title of this series, "The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe," could not be more appropriately applied than to Arcangela Tarabotti (1604-1652), all of whose writings articulate her anger at life's injustices to women in general, and at the injustices of seventeenth-century Venetian family, marriage, and religious life in particular.
