Arcangela Tarabotti (1604-1652), Venetian nun and polemicist, was known for her protest against forced monachization and her advocacy for the education of women and their participation in public life. She responded to Francesco Buoninsegni's Against the Vanities of Women (1638) with the Antisatire (1644), a defense of women's fashions and a denunciation of men, but also a strong condemnation of men's treatment of women and of the subordination of women in society.
