Women in Chemistry 2022
We are delighted to present the 2022 Women in Chemistry article collection. Following the celebration of International Women’s Day 2022, the UNESCO International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Frontiers in Chemistry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all branches of Chemistry. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Chemistry is no exception to this. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.

Gender, Honor, and Charity in Late Renaissance Florence
This book examines the important social role of charitable institutions for women and children in late Renaissance Florence. Wars, social unrest, disease, and growing economic inequality on the Italian peninsula displaced hundreds of thousands of families during this period. In order to handle the social crises generated by war, competition for social position, and the abandonment of children, a series of private and public initiatives expanded existing charitable institutions and founded new ones. Philip Gavitt's research reveals the important role played by lineage ideology among Florence's elites in the use and manipulation of these charitable institutions in the often futile pursuit of economic and social stability. Considering families of all social levels, he argues that the pursuit of family wealth and prestige often worked at cross-purposes with the survival of the very families it was supposed to preserve.
Life in Morgana
Life in Morgana is an account of what happened in the town of Morgana during author Ottavio Pejrano's first two years of residence. Morgana is located in the northern Apennines of Italy and the story ends with the trial of a woman for attempted murder: "And so, according to circumstantial evidence, you appear to be guilty of attempted murder of Riccardo Buonaventura, nicknamed the Bloodsucker. Do you deny that?" Asked the judge lowering her spectacles to the tip of her nose and peering at the defendant over the rim of her glasses. "I certainly do!" exclaimed Marta, the notorious lesbian of Morgana. "And to prove my innocence, I have with me the diary of a newcomer to our town, who settled on a nearby farm two years ago. Can you grant me the time to read this manuscript?" "Well," said the judge, "what else is there to do in this forgotten town? It's a rainy day, all the roads are full of mud and I am very comfortable here, with a full pot of hot coffee by my side. Might as well hear your story. Go ahead!"
Peace and Penance in Late Medieval Italy
Medieval Italian communes are known for their violence, feuds, and vendettas, yet beneath this tumult was a society preoccupied with peace. Peace and Penance in Late Medieval Italy is the first book to examine how civic peacemaking in the age of Dante was forged in the crucible of penitential religious practice. Focusing on Florence in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, an era known for violence and civil discord, Katherine Ludwig Jansen brilliantly illuminates how religious and political leaders used peace agreements for everything from bringing an end to neighborhood quarrels to restoring full citizenship to judicial exiles. She brings to light a treasure trove of unpublished evidenc...
