About her, by and large, it is only known that she headed the Department of Medicine and Philosophy at the University of Bologna since 1390 and for more than forty years [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] . Before her, her father was in charge of the same department [4] .
Attitudes toward female medical education in Italy were apparently more liberal than in England before the 19th century. Anna Morandi Manzolini was a professor of anatomy at the University of Bologna in 1760 [5] . Among the Italian women whose contribution to the development of medicine was recorded, there are also Trotula Salerna (XI century), Abella , Jacqueline Felice de Almania , Alessandra Giliani , Rebecca de Guarna , Margarita, Mercury (XIV century), Constance Calenda , Calriche di Duricio (XV century), Constanta, Maria Incarnata and Tomasia di Mattio [2] [6] .
The name Dorothea Bucca is mentioned on Judy Chicago 's Heritage Floor as an accompanying name for Isabella d'Este .
