Abstract
Moderata Fonte, who is one of the earliest female authors to write chivalric romance in Italy, participates in the debate
on women [querelle des femmes] with Il merito delle donne (1600). Tredici canti del Floridoro (1581), in which she
defends the worth of women and equality between sexes, also documents Fonte’s concern for female issues. Within
this framework, this paper aims to analyse Fonte’s protofeminism based upon the concept of androgyny. Drawing upon
her thought about women in Il merito delle donne (1600) within the framework of the Italian patriarchal social context,
it first discusses the social and theoretical implications of androgyny. It interprets the warrior heroine Risamante and
the titular hero Floridoro as representatives of the androgyne examining how they deconstruct their assigned gender
roles. It argues that Fonte utilizes androgyny to evince that there is no essential difference between sexes but the
cultural assumptions and practices produce a hierarchical relationship between women and men. It concludes that
Fonte, by means of androgyny, shatters rigid gender boundaries, and she advocates that both women and men should
benefit from education and they should be treated equally. Tre
