Another book set during the same time period and dealing with women during the Renaissance is The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant. It's a fabulous read that details the life of a young girl living in Florence during the cruel and inhibiting reign of Savonarola. It tells the journey she takes to find just a bit of freedom in Florence while giving quite a bit of history regarding famous artists and their work.
