Excerpt
“Renaissance ideas on love and manners… expressed this new subordination of women to the interests of husbands and male-dominated [family] groups and served to justify the removal of women from an “unladylike” position of power and… independence. All the Advances of Renaissance Italy… worked to mold the noblewoman into an aesthetic object: decorous, chaste and doubly dependent on her husband as well as the prince.”
