Abstract
The sources often speak of the world of women in an indirect, cross-cutting way, since over the centuries women have played social, legal, economic and cultural roles that are not always evident. Only in a few cases can gender studies boast of archives and libraries of exclusively female prove-nance: even in recent periods, their number is small due to either conservative behavior anchored in outdated historiographical hierarchies or women’s lesser inclination to document their exis-tence and their role in society, expressing a difficulty in considering themselves as agent subjects in history.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
