Were there any females in the part of the Renaissance?

Answer 1

Yes and No. The time of the renaissance differed wildly for separate nations - Italy was very early, while countries like England, the Netherlands and Germany experienced it almost a century later. Society at that time was completely male-dominated. Almost all people associated with the renaissance were male.

Nonetheless some women can be considered to have contributed to the renaissance. Sofonisba Anguissola was a well-known woman painter in the time of the renaissance. Some female rulers can also be considered to have taken part in the renaissance, such as Elizabeth I of England and Isabella I of Castile.
