Carolina Arienti Lattanzi

Carolina Arienti Lattanzi (1771–1818) was a writer, journalist, poet, and early figure in the Italian feminist movement. She delivered a famous lecture, "The Slavery of Women," calling for more rights for women and drawing attention to the societal and legal obstacles that kept women from achieving gender equality. In 1804, with her husband, Giuseppe Lattanzi, she founded Corriere delle dame, one of the first Italian periodicals targeted to a female audience, which covered women's fashion, as well as current events.
