About this person

Margherita Sarrocchi was an Italian poet and a supporter of the theories of Galileo. She was also a mathematics student with a vast variety of interests in other sciences. Sarrocchi had numerous other scientific interests like geometry, astronomy, and natural philosophy. However, her writings in these fields have been lost or destroyed. Sarrochi's works have been forgotten and left behind like many other female scientists. Margherita Sarrocchi was first friend and potential lover, then rival and enemy of Giambattista Marino, and wrote an epic poem in twenty-three cantos, the Scanderbeide, celebrating the heroic exploits of Scanderbeg against the Ottoman Turks.
