Description: While the Hundred Years War rages and the illness of Charles VI destabilized the kingdom of France, Christine de Pisan served as a court writer. A self-taught woman, Christine composed mainly poems and ballads using literary techniques such as compilation, allegory, exempla, and built a reputation as a writer respected by the intellectuals of the era.
