Arcangela Tarabotti

Arcangela Tarabotti (24 February 1604 – 28 February 1652)^[1] was a Venetian nun and Early Modern Italian writer. Tarabotti wrote texts and corresponded with cultural and political figures for most of her adult life, centering on the issues of forced enclosure, and what she saw as other symptoms and systems of patriarchy and misogyny in her works and discussions.^[2]^[3] Tarabotti wrote at least seven works, though only five were published during her lifetime.^[4]^[5] Because of the politics of Tarabotti’s works, many scholars consider her “a protofeminist writer as well as an early political theorist.”^[4]
