The times, methods, and purposes of the anonymous author are also investigated. Commentary-essays on the individual women then follow. A wide variety of sources are utilized in order to sketch the fullest possible portrait of each of these lively women.This book, the very first study of De Mulieribus, is a useful introduction to a remarkable treatise.
