Description: "Christine de Pizan (1364/5-1430?) was arguably the first woman to support herself and her family as a professional writer and public intellectual. In recent decades, recognition of her importance for women's studies, political thought, art history, rhetoric, and literary criticism has prompted a boom in "Christine studies." -- Book cover.
