Hahaha. I've just read Susan Cusick's book on Francesca Caccini. I've
learnt a new word from that book: gynocentric. It features at least
three times on each of of the 400 plus pages.
If there is such a word it should be gynAEcentric.
cf. gynaecology, gynaeceum etc........
Ms. Cusick knowledge of Greek is evidently somewhat lacking.....
