Christine de Pizan and the Moral Defence of Women: Reading beyond Gender - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Brown-Grant, Rosalind (University of Leeds)
Christine de Pizan's Livre de la Cité des Dames (1405) is justly renowned for its full-scale assault on the misogynist stereotypes which dominated the culture of the Middle Ages. This study shows the text's underlying unity and its insistence on the moral, if not the social, equality of the sexes.
