Discover the lives and legacies of some of Italy’s “Renaissance Women” and several unheralded women who inspired some of the greatest artwork of all time. We explore the evolution of the perceptions of women from antiquity and the Middle Ages through the Renaissance—the inflection point, when our concept of the modern woman began to take shape—along with the stories of such women as Isabella D’Este, Vittoria Colonna and Artemisia Gentileschi, whose lives and accomplishments can still inspire us today.
