Dorotea Bocchi (1360–1436) (also sometimes referred to as Dorotea Bucca) was an Italian noblewoman known for studying medicine and philosophy.[1][2] Dorotea was associated with the University of Bologna, though there are differing beliefs regarding the extent of her participation at the university ranging, from whether she taught or held a position there.[1][2][3][4][5] Despite these debates, there is consensus that she flourished and was active at the university for more than 40 years, beginning from 1390 onwards.[2][3][6][7][8][9]
