The sonatas of composer Isabella Leonarda are among the first instrumental works written by a woman.

On September 6, 1620 Isabella Calegari was born in Novara, Italy, later with the surname Leonarda. Details of her biography are few and far between, probably because she entered the Collegio di Sant'Orsola Monastery in 1636 and spent most of her life there. She was taught by the conductor of the Novara Cathedral, Gasparo Casati (1610–1641).

Her compositional oeuvre comprises 200 individual pieces, including mainly solo motets, which were published in 20 of her own collections in the second half of the 17th century. The only instrumental compositions left by Isabella Leonarda and one of the first published by a woman in Bologna in 1693 are the 11 trio sonatas and a solo sonata from Opus 16. Isabella Leonarda died in Novara in 1704 at the age of 84.
