      abstract = {Offering historical identity fortified by the presence of  women belonging to the various areas of creative and  intellectual life, this book allows readers to understand  greater contexts of their identity. The history of female  artists is an indicator of how social identity was erased  from the historiography which asserted itself in  nineteenth-century Europe. Analysis of the biographical  pathways traced here reveals how women in the Middle Ages  and beyond have been active protagonists of the arts,  received reviews, as well as had an authoritative role as  the esteemed and attentive witnesses of the society around  them. Reconstruction of social relationships, intellectual  and creative production as well as of the life stories of  some of Europes most important female artists, foregrounds  this omission and highlights their extraordinary nature.  The different stories contained in this book narrate the  lives and works of Hildegard von Bingen, Francesca Caccini,  Mary Wollstonecraft, George Sand, Lou Andreas Salome and  Elke Mascha Blankenburg. By reinforcing the awareness of  social and historical origins, the informed reader is  better equipped to tackle their futures and build up their  personalities.},
