The data tells a remarkable story: women engaged with Dante's works far more extensively than previously thought, challenging long-held beliefs about gender roles in literature and creative fields. Their active participation reveals how women carved out space in areas traditionally reserved for men.

Women contributed deeply to understanding Dante's work through detailed studies of specific themes and broader examinations of his writings. Translating Dante into different languages gave them a powerful voice, allowing them to join the ongoing conversation about Italian literary heritage.

Their contributions went beyond translation. Women wrote academic articles, books, and dissertations exploring Dante's language, style, and his treatment of women and philosophical ideas. Many published in prestigious journals like the Giornale Dantesco and Nuovo Convito, establishing themselves in academic circles.

Women also found creative inspiration in Dante's poetry. They wrote their own poems, novels, plays, and even musical adaptations and children's stories inspired by his work. This diverse output showed their versatility as writers and demonstrated the many ways Dante's influence could spark creativity across different forms of expression.
