Summary: Fun Book
Comment: Really. This book was a lot of fun to read and, despite the claims of the "Kirkus" review, it really isn't heavy reading at all. It does require some minimal knowlege of the life during the Renaissance era, but ample footnotes are provided to explain the numerous classical references and anything else that the reader might find confusing.
One thing to be aware of. While the title of the book is "The Worth of Women", the dialogue spends FAR more time talking about the lack of worth of men. (The author's basis thesis seems to be that women are virtually perfect, so the occassional "bad" woman is either an utter anomoly, or has been made "bad" due to the influence of men; while men are basically evil, and the even rarer "good" man is an anomaly.) I will confess that the constant harping on the evils of the male sex got a little tiresome after a while.
If you don't want to read that men are incapable of love/kindness/caring/intelligence ... this isn't the book for you.
