From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laudomia Forteguerri (1515-1555?) was an accomplished Italian poet and a member of one of the most powerful families in the sixteenth-century Republic of Siena. She is considered by many historians be Italy’s earliest lesbian writer, and she was famous for her beauty, wit, and intelligence.[1] Forteguerri led thousands of women to defend her city during the siege of Siena in the 1550s, which culminated in the fateful Battle of Marciano and the ultimate fall of the independent Republic. Although Forteguerri disappeared during the battle and her death remains a mystery, she became a legendary figure in Sienese history and her legacy has lived on long after her death.
