Compare Lucretia Marinella's views in The Nobility and Excellence of Women to those of Laura Cereta (Readings 15.4 and 15.5a)
What will be an ideal response?
Marinella attacked the pseudo-chivalric attitudes and behavior of Renaissance males. She asserts that any man who denigrates women is motivated by anger and envy. It is the Renaissance women, she argued, who possess the fullest measure of Castiglione's moral virtue and humanist individualism, not the courtiers themselves. This echos Cereta's claim that women, like men, can choose to exercise their free will in the pursuit of learning. If Adam could choose to fashion himself in whatever form he might prefer, so could Eve.
