Agostino Strozzi (c.1450 – after 1505) was an Augustinian abbot and author. Strozzi is recognized for his contribution to the pro-woman side of the querelle des femmes — "a debate about the nature and worth of women that unfolded in Europe from the medieval to the early modern period."[1][2] Strozzi, commissioned by his cousin Margherita Cantelmo, wrote La defensione delle donne [The Defense of Women] in the 16th century.[3]
