DARDANO, Luigi (16th century). La bella e dotta difesa delle donne in verso, e prose...contra gli accusatori del sesso loro...Venice: Bartolomeo Imperatore, 1554.
Interesting work defending women who have been unjustly judged by history. This text presents a series of 'trials' in which a male lawyer, who presents the male point of view, a female lawyer, who presents the opposing view, and a jury of three judges intervene. The first figure to be examined is, symbolically, Eve.
