Title : Il document notarile, prova privilegiata in materia di eventi straordinari e miracolosi: la Madonna Bianca di Portovenere (1399) [Notaries were supposed to attest that their documents conformed to reality, including the reporting of miracles. One report was the miraculous glowing image of the Virgin Mary from Portovenere (1399). This "White Madonna" appears in local documents over three centuries. A confraternity rallied round the image briefly, but it was extinguished by the plague in 1400. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : Il monachesimo femminile in Liguria dalle origini al XII secolo [Evidence for women's monasticism in Liguria is sparse before Lombard domination was established in the seventh century. Thereafter nobles can be found establishing monasteries for women. By the thirteenth century Genoa both had its own monasteries and competed for control of other houses with local nobles. Small Benedictine houses were eclipsed eventually by new orders like the Cistercians].

Title : Schiave [In the Middle Ages, slaves brought into Italy primarily came from the Black Sea region, and most were women. The sixteenth century saw an inversion of the gender ratio, as well as fresh supplies from Africa, the Balkans, and, for a time, Muslim Granada. There also was a shift from domestic to agricultural bondage. Slave women were exploited sexually, but some attained manumission through marriage. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
