The Honest Courtesan eBook
Wanting
The Honest Courtesan, a study of Venetian courtesan and writer Veronica Franco’s life and work, is written from a feminist perspective. The Honest Courtesan shows how Franco used her social position to write in defense of women, and how Franco argued the courtesan’s role as having intellectual and artistic — rather than erotic — significance.
Franco was probably a tease like me — The Honest Courtesan isn’t an eBook yet, which is why I’m left in “wanting”…
