Major Works
Her most important works were mostly letters. In the letters she covered topics such as family, marriage, education, and other heavy topics of the days. As she mimicked other Humanist writers, she also became the first feminist writers as she spoke out against ideas against women.
A lot of her work was claimed to be plagerised. People of her time could not belive that a woman would have such good Latin, so they accused her of stealing (Univ. of Chicago Library).
"The free mind, unafraid of labor, presses on to attain the good."
-Laura Cereta, Collection of Letters
“...empty women, who strive for no good but exist to adorn themselves...These women of majestic pride, fantastic coiffures, outlandish ornament, and necks bound with gold or pearls bear the glittering symbols of their captivity to men.”
-Lauara Cereta, Collection of Letters
