The Italian scholar Isotta Nogarola (1418–1466) is considered the first major female humanist. "Humanism" is the modern term for the intellectual movement that initiated the Renaissance. The humanist movement originated in Florence, Italy, in the mid-1300s and was introduced into other European countries shortly before 1500. Humanist scholars believed that a body of learning called studia humanitatis (humanistic studies), which was based on the literary masterpieces from the classical period of ancient Greece and Rome, could bring about a cultural rebirth, or renaissance. The texts included not only classical literature but also the Bible (the Christian holy book) and the works of early Christian thinkers. Humanists were committed to the revival of ancient works as a way to end the "barbarism" (lack of refinement or culture) of the Middle Ages (also called the medieval period), the thousand-year era that followed the downfall of the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries.

Isotta Nogarola
Born: 1418, Verona, Italy<br />Died: 1466, Verona, Italy<br />Isotta Nogarola was born to a well off, but non noble Italian family as one of ten children. Nogarola's mother had been illiterate herself, but prioritized the education of all of her children, including her daughters. She placed special emphasis on this in order to broaden the wealth of opportunities that her children had. Nogarola received a Humanist education, and was trained in rhetoric, so she had been used to debating, which was usually a skill only honed by men in the era. Nogarola's writings exhibit the wealth of her knowledge, and her familiarity with Classical Studies. Her works referenced authors such as Cicero, Plutarch, and Aulus Gellius. These figures all influenced the ways in which she wrote and viewed the society around her. In her later years, Nogarola pivoted to a more religious focus when writing. In these later years, she published her most famous, and hotly contested, work, the Dialogue on the Equal or Unequal Sin of Adam and Eve. In this she illuminated the problems in defining a woman's role that were a topic of widespread debate in this era.
