Books, Autographs, and Prints: Women Who Leave Their Mark
Thursday 28 May 2026 • Rome
Auction details
The auction “Women Who Leave Their Mark” will be entirely dedicated to the presence of women in the history of books, engraving, and the written word. The auction stems from a desire to recognize and promote this often marginalized presence in the history of books and graphic arts between the 16th and 20th centuries.
It is not just a matter of celebrating illustrious names, but of restoring visibility to a constellation of voices: women who have produced knowledge, creativity, and learning.
Every volume, every engraving, every autograph is a trace, an imprint that tells the story of the existence and strength of those who challenged limits and conventions to assert their own voice.
There are women who have left their mark. Now it is up to us to recognize it.
