The first popular biography of a pioneering feminist thinker and
writer of medieval Paris. The daughter of a court intellectual,
Christine de Pizan dwelled within the cultural heart of
late-medieval Paris. In the face of personal tragedy, she learned
the tools of the book trade, writing more than forty works that
included poetry, historical and political treatises, and defenses
of women. In this new biography-the first written for a general
audience-Charlotte Cooper-Davis discusses the life and work of this
pioneering female thinker and writer. She shows how Christine de
Pizan's inspiration came from the world around her, situates her as
an entrepreneur within the context of her times and place, and
finally examines her influence on the most avant-garde of feminist
artists, through whom she is slowly making a return into mainstream
popular culture.
