You meant Machiavelli, a philosopher, musician, poet. He is a male not a female.
Niccolò di Bernado dei Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 – June 21, 1527) was a political philosopher, musician, poet, and romantic comedic playwright. Machiavelli is a key figure of the Renaissance, most known for his treatises on realist political theory (The Prince) on the one hand and idealistic Republicanism (Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio) on the other.

Marietta Corsini, was his wife and bore him, I think 6 children. I do presume you mean Niccolo Machiavelli 1469-1527, the Florentinian politician, who was imprisoned and exiled in 1513 by the Medici. His II Principe (1513) was a guide to the ruthless exercise of power by the future prince of a unified Italian state, "Machiavellian", but actually reflects the actualities of statecraft.
No, I wouldn't think he was really a women the Medici family that was founded in Florence by Giovanni, would have had a field day in revealing this to the world, or would have had found it very difficult to conceal, depending of who's point of view you are reading from.
Their is a lot of rumours that unfortunately surround many historical characters. Especially those who are not liked by certain historians. In truth, many historians can be very biased, and can sway the truth to doubt, or influence the public in believing what they want to believe, or to their own satisfaction.

You are thinking of the totally unrelated Doris Machiavelli - did a lot of voluntary work for the Samaritans I believe.

Was that just before or just after "Julius Caesar was an asparagus"? Actually, I can't answer a question with a question so I'll come clean and reassure you that Machiavelli was a man.

If he had been, his wife, Marietta Corsini, would have had a problem in bearing him four sons and two daughters!

Boy, that would be very Machiavellian, wouldn't it?
