Puellae doctae

Puella doctae (Latin for "educated young women") is an idiom from the Renaissance referring to a series of elite women, educated in arts, literature and sciences, who formed part of the Europen courts of the 15th and 16th centuries, connecting with the Renaissance humanism and the Spanish Golden Age. The concept is especially associated to the reign of Isabella the Catholic and its ramifications in the kingdoms of Castile, Aragon and the neighboring Portugal, as well as the successive reign of Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire.
