Reviews for Savonarola's Women
"Tamar Herzig has succeeded in discovering important documents which had eluded earlier researchers in the field. Her study represents an important contribution to the lively fields of Savonarolism, female spirituality, and religious history at the very time of the breakup of Western Christendom. This is no small feat." - Lorenzo Polizzotto, University of Western Australia"
