Il libro esamina opere scientifiche, filosofiche e letterarie che, dalla fine del Cinquecento alle soglie del Novecento, hanno approfondito il legame tra la Luna e le donne, giungendo anche a interpretazioni divergenti. Oltre a dare risalto a scrittrici, filosofe, pittrici e astronome che hanno contribuito all’affermazione di una nuova immagine dell’universo e a quella della Luna come ‘altra Terra’, il volume delinea i profili femminili della Luna celebrati in trattati scientifici, mappe celesti e spazi pubblici, così come nelle ‘immagini di desiderio’ rappresentate sulla scena teatrale, nell’arte figurativa e soprattutto in opere utopiche e in diversi modelli di astronomia popolare. [Abstract translated by DeepL.com/Translator: This is the abstract in English… The book examines scientific, philosophical and literary works that, from the late 16th century to the threshold of the 20th century, have explored the link between the Moon and women, even reaching divergent interpretations. In addition to highlighting female writers, philosophers, painters and astronomers who contributed to the establishment of a new image of the universe and that of the Moon as the 'other Earth,' the volume outlines female profiles of the Moon celebrated in scientific treatises, celestial maps and public spaces, as well as in 'images of desire' depicted on the theatrical stage, in figurative art and especially in utopian works and various models of popular astronomy.]
