Illustration from Jacopo Foresti’s De plurimis claris sceletisque mulieribus (1497)
Isotta Nogarola (1418–1466) was an Italian writer and intellectual who is said to be the first major female humanist and one of the most important humanists of the Italian Renaissance. She inspired generations of artists and writers, among them Lauro Quirini and Ludovico Foscarini, and contributed to a centuries-long debate in Europe on gender and the nature of women.
Nogarola is best known for her 1451 work De pari aut impari Evae atque Adae peccato (Dialogue on the Equal or Unequal Sin of Adam and Eve). She also wrote many other dialogues, poems, speeches, and letters, twenty-six of which survive. (x)
