Abstract
The article deconstructs the myth of Dorotea Bocchi, still considered the first female professor of medicine and/or philosophy at the University of Bologna in the fifteenth century. The narration of this myth is part of a series of biographies of women, created from the early modern age to give prestige to families, institutions or cities. Although historiography has dismantled the link women-medieval universities, the idea of an extraordinary precedent still finds credit in the historical disclosure and in the historiography of women and the sciences.File in questo prodotto:
