The True History of Catharina Vizzani The Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast - Episode 107 with Heather Rose Jones

This is the exciting and somewhat surprising story of an 18th century Italian woman who received a surprising level of acceptance for her sexual orientation, both from her parents and from an employer.

In this episode we talk about:

• The outline of Catherine Vizzani’s life
• Readings from the English translation of her biography, in all their 18th century glory
• The full text of the 1755 English translations of Catherine Vizzani’s biography can be found here.

This topic is discussed in one or more entries of the Lesbian Historic Motif Project here:

• The True History and Adventures of Catharine Vizzani / Breve storia della vita di Catterina Vizzani (Giovanni Battista Bianchi)
