The Honest Courtesan: Veronica Franco, Citizen and Writer in Sixteenth-Century Venice (Women in Culture and Society Seri by Margaret F. Rosenthal

An interesting interdisciplinary work about 16th Century Venice. It wasn['t so much a biography as a cultural study told within the framework of one individual's life experiences.
