Women in the Renaissance Historiography
Hello! I am looking for a good historiography article on women in the European Renaissance. I am an Americanist but currently studying this era and need to identify the most critical scholarship. Would like know the historigraphy of this field and when interest in the women of this era took off. Citation please. My particular interest is in the debate about women's nature in the Quarelle des Femmes and its extension into England 1300-1600. Thank you.
