Declamation on the nobility and preeminence of the female sex

Author:	Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim; Albert Rabil
Publisher:	Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 1996.
Series:	Other voice in early modern Europe.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Originally published in 1529, the Declamation of the Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex argues that women are more than equal to men in all things that really matter, including the public spheres from which they had long been excluded. Rather than directly refuting prevailing wisdom, Agrippa uses women's superiority as a rhetorical device and overturns the misogynistic interpretations of the female body in Greek medicine, in the Bible, in Roman and canon law, in theology and moral philosophy, and in politics. He raises the question of why women were excluded and provides answers based not on sex but on social conditioning, education, and the prejudices of their more powerful oppressors. His declamation, disseminated through the printing press, illustrates the power of that new medium, soon to be used to generate a larger reformation of religion.  Read more...
