This book focuses on the identity and public personae of the
dogaresse, wives of the elected doges of medieval and early modern
Venice. The study traces the evolution of the public functions of
the group of quasi-royal wives, rare for their visibility, during
Venice's development into a regional economic and political power.
The book examines the dogaresse's significant representational
roles in both Venice's unique political system and its gendering,
and in ambitious families whose members held ducal office. Further,
this work places this group of political wives not only in their
local Venetian context, but also in a broader international context
through comparison with other political consorts. The project
enhances historical understanding of women, family and of gendered
symbols in Venice and abroad.
