 Women and Gender in the Early Modern World
Series Editors: Allyson Poska and Abby Zanger

In the past decade, the study of women and gender has offered some of the most vital and innovative challenges to
scholarship on the early modern period. Ashgate's new series of interdisciplinary and comparative studies, 'Women
and Gender in the Early Modern World', takes up this challenge, reaching beyond geographical limitations to explore
the experiences of early modern women and the nature of gender in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa.

Titles in the series include:

Gender, Society and Print Culture in Late-Stuart England

The cultural world of the Athenian Mercury
Helen Berry

Women and the Book Trade in Sixteenth-Century France

Susan Broomhall

Poetic Resistance
English Women Writers and the Early Modern Lyric
Pamela S. Hammons

Subordinate Subjects
Gender, the Political Nation, and Literary Form in England, 1588-1688

 Notes on the Text

A Note on Dates

Dates are given as day/month/year in the notes. Florentines began the year on the Feast of the Annunciation, March
25. Dates will be given in the modern style in the text and both styles of dating will be given in the notes; for
example, a letter dated 11 January 1525 in modern style will be written as 11/1/1524/5. Pisa began its year on the same
day as the Florentines, but was a year ahead; eg. 25/5/1472 (modern style) was 25/5/1473 (Pisan style). Rome began its
year on January 1st therefore all letters from Rome are dated in modern style.
A Note on Names

To avoid confusing women with the same first name, I will adopt the following method of identifying individual
women of the Medici family. Those who marry into the family will also be identified by their natal surname (for
example Lucrezia Tornabuoni), while women who were born into the family will also be referred to by their married
name (for example Lucrezia Salviati). The exceptions are: (a) Luisa de' Medici, Lorenzo's and Clarice Orsini's third
daughter, who died before her marriage and (b) Caterina de' Medici, daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, Duke of Urbino,
the future Queen Regent of France, where she is referred to before her marriage to the Duke of Orléans.
A Note on Translation

All translations are my own, unless otherwise indicated.

 Introduction
'O do not be born a woman if you want your own way', wrote an exasperated Nannina Rucellai, sister of Lorenzo de'
Medici 'the Magnificent', to her mother Lucrezia Tornabuoni in July 1479 after losing an argument about their
children's education with her husband Bernardo Rucellai. Faced with having to dismiss the children's tutor on his
order, Nannina cleverly chose to resolve the situation by asking her mother if the man could be placed in the
household of Lorenzo for two to three months until an outbreak of plague in his hometown of Figline
subsided.1Lucrezia would have had to use considerable influence to convince her son to take in the hapless man,
suggesting that Nannina was well aware when she asked her mother for assistance that her own situation did not
apply to all women in all circumstances. But Nannina's lack of influence with her husband exemplifies the general
situation that many historians have argued was the lot of Florentine women (particularly of the upper class) during
the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.2 Indeed, it has even been suggested that Florence was possibly the worst of
all places in Renaissance Italy to be born a woman.3
It is probably for this reason that historians writing about powerful women in Renaissance Italy in recent years,
have generally focussed on the women of the princely courts. Eleonora of Aragon, duchess of Ferrara; her two
daughters, Isabella, marchioness of Mantua and Beatrice d'Este, duchess of Milan; Bianca Maria Visconti Sforza;
Lucrezia Borgia, duchess of Ferrara; Caterina Sforza, ruler of Imola; Battista da Montefeltro; Ippolita Maria Sforza,
duchess of Calabria; and Barbara of Brandenburg, marchioness of Mantua, are just a few of the names that spring
immediately to mind.4 Women of ruling families in republican regimes (such as the Medici) have not received much
attention since it is generally agreed that they had fewer options, able to exercise only informal power through their
connections with influential male relatives in contrast to the more formal power often exercised by women in courts
or kingdoms.5
However, it is well known that in medieval and Renaissance Europe all females were presumed to be naturally
subordinate and morally and intellectually inferior to males, with the consequence that men were deemed to be
suited to the position of ruler and women to that of the ruled.6 So the nature of women's power and/or the matter of
women as rulers were vexed issues to contemporaries, regardless of the type of regime. Most women rulers had to
exert considerable effort to legitimise their position. Therefore, women, and their apologists or advisers, tried to
predicate their right to rule on the construction of images that stressed their chastity, maternal nature and
intercessory powers.7 Certainly, women's opportunities to demonstrate their political skills and abilities were
different and greater in monarchies and seigneurial regimes than in republics. But in republics too, women were able
to act decisively in the political sphere since the informal networks they utilised were themselves an integral part of
the political process. Therefore, although an important factor, the type of regime alone (monarchy, princely court or
republic) did not determine whether women in ruling families could or could not be involved in politics.
I would argue that the relationship between gender and power and how that was understood by contemporaries
was a much more significant influence.8 How, and under what circumstances, such women came to exercise that
power and to what extent they and their male supporters were able to justify successfully their actions in terms that
did not subvert the existing gender order, were equally important factors in influencing the extent to which women
in ruling families could get their own way.9 The Medici women provide an outstanding opportunity for us to
examine the possibilities for positive and purposeful action as well as the pitfalls for powerful women in Renaissance
Italy. Over the century between Cosimo de' Medici 'the Elder"s assumption of de facto power in 1434 and Duke
Alessandro de' Medici's assumption of de jure power in 1532, the Medici went from being the chief family in an
oligarchic republic to hereditary dukes in a principate. The assassination of Duke Alessandro in 1537 saw Duke
Cosimo I elected to succeed him and he consolidated and strengthened Medici power so that the family's rule of
Florence and later, all of Tuscany, continued on until the male line became extinct in 1737. Hence the women's
involvement in the Medici regime between 1434 and 1537 forms an illuminating series of case studies through which
to explore the negotiations of gender and power in both oligarchic republics and hereditary principates.
Their gender was a crucial determining factor in the Medici women's access to influence, power and authority how
