Line | Jacob Burckhardt’s view that Renaissance |
European women “stood on a footing of perfect | |
equality” with Renaissance men has been repeatedly | |
cited by feminist scholars as a prelude to their | |
(5) | presentation of rich historical evidence of women’s |
inequality. In striking contrast to Burckhardt, Joan | |
Kelly in her famous 1977 essay, “Did Women Have | |
a Renaissance?” argued that the Renaissance was | |
a period of economic and social decline for women | |
(10) | relative both to Renaissance men and to medieval |
women. Recently, however, a significant trend | |
among feminist scholars has entailed a rejection | |
of both Kelly’s dark vision of the Renaissance and | |
Burckhardt’s rosy one. Many recent works by these | |
(15) | scholars stress the ways in which differences |
among Renaissance women—especially in terms | |
of social status and religion—work to complicate | |
the kinds of generalizations both Burckhardt and | |
Kelly made on the basis of their observations about | |
(20) | upper-class Italian women. |
The trend is also evident, however, in works | |
focusing on those middle- and upper-class | |
European women whose ability to write gives them | |
disproportionate representation in the historical | |
(25) | record. Such women were, simply by virtue of |
their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the | |
population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of | |
their experiences as typical of “female experience” | |
in any general sense. Tina Krontiris, for example, in | |
(30) | her fascinating study of six Renaissance women |
writers, does tend at times to conflate “women” and | |
“women writers,” assuming that women’s gender, | |
irrespective of other social differences, including | |
literacy, allows us to view women as a homogeneous | |
(35) | social group and make that group an object of |
analysis. Nonetheless, Krontiris makes a significant | |
contribution to the field and is representative of | |
those authors who offer what might be called a | |
cautiously optimistic assessment of Renaissance | |
(40) | women’s achievements, although she also stresses |
the social obstacles Renaissance women faced | |
when they sought to raise their “oppositional | |
voices.” Krontiris is concerned to show women | |
intentionally negotiating some power for themselves | |
(45) | (at least in the realm of public discourse) against |
potentially constraining ideologies, but in her sober | |
and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests | |
that such verbal opposition to cultural stereotypes | |
was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked | |
(50) | the basic assumptions in the ideologies that |
oppressed them. |
