About this product

Product Information

A seventeenth-century play showing the reality of life for women. Valeria Miani's Amorous Hope is a play of remarkable richness, subtlety, and verve. It presents a scathing exposure of society's double-standards and it champions women's dramatic agency by centering on the bleak reality they often faced, a reality that attempted to harm and silence its victims. The play's salient episodes reflect realities modern women still face today. Miani's literary achievements attest to her emergence as a cultural protagonist alongside Europe's most talented women writers, such as Isabella Andreini, and she challenged the premodern notion that a woman's eloquence is an indication of her sexual promiscuity.
