Women in sixteenth-century England were not as well educated, largely because of Christian humanist influences. English Christian humanists rationalized the education of women, if they were to be educated at all, as a means of preserving and promoting Christian virtue. The literacy data clearly indicate that English persons of both sexes were significantly less well-educated than Florentines, and far fewer English women were educated in comparison to their Italian counterparts.

This unit analyses ways in which women have been represented and have represented themselves in literature and cinema across time. Fictional representations will be analysed in light of the evolution of the social position of Italian women, from the Fascist period and the Resistance to the development of second-wave feminism between the 1970's and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Through an examination of fictional as well as social and legal changes, students will become familiar with the position of women in historical and social contexts up to the present day.
