The first political treatise written by a woman. Christine de
Pizan's The Book of the Body Politic is the first political
treatise written by a woman. It not only advises the prince, but
nobles, knights, and common people as well. It promotes the ideals
of interdependence and social responsibility. Rooted in the mindset
of medieval Christendom, The Book of the Body Politic heralds the
humanism of the Renaissance, highlighting classical culture and
Roman civic virtues. This new edition and translation offers a
faithful rendering of Christine de Pizan's writing, as well as a
thorough contextualization of her career as a political writer at
the end of the Middle Ages in France. The Book of the Body Politic
resounds to this day, urging for the need for probity in public
life and the importance of responsibilities and rights.
