📜25 June 1678. Equal rights... we're all living a historical moment where it looks like there are "more rights than duties" around, mostly coming from "above"... but the meaning of conquest itself, i.e. achieving something, seems to have lost its appeal.
On this day of 1678 Venice became (once more) the first city in the world to witness an absolute conquest!
Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia (shortened Elena Corner), a noble lady from Venice, became the first woman in the world admitted for an academic degree in Theology ("masked" with another name to avoid an international scandal 😳, women were not allowed at all on the subject) and the first to receive a Doctorate in Philosophy (from the near glorious University of Padua, needless to say one of the oldest in the world). 👏
Elena struggled in fact all her life for that, against all prejudices... as she was a woman in the exclusive men's academic world.
When you live in a city of conquests and beauty, you can only long for more! 💪🏻🔥

Soft Machine
📀 Softs
#JazzRock #ProgressiveRock #InstrumentalRock #JazzFusion
50 years ago Soft Machine from #Canterbury, England, #UK released their 9th studio album.
Like 👉 their previous album, Softs features a wider use of guitars as compared to the band's past discography.
During the recording of the album, #SoftMachine last remaining original member, Mike Ratledge, left the band.
This is probably why many see this album as a complete loss of the band's identity.
In any case this is amazing music from beginning to end ❤️🔥
In this album:
#RoyBabbington – bass
#JohnEtheridge – acoustic and electric guitars
#JohnMarshall – drums, percussion
#AlanWakeman – saxophones
#KarlJenkins – piano, electric piano, Hohner Pianet, Minimoog, string synthesizers, orchestrations
Additional musician
#MikeRatledge – synthesizer
