    City of Ladies

    Christine de Pizan An unlikely candidate to dispute the unfair, misogynistic treatment of women by men and society, Christine de Pizan successfully challenged the accepted negative views that were being expressed about women by the all-male literary world of her era.

Her original ideas and insight provided a new and more intelligent way to view females. Pizan's work, The Book of the City of Ladies, provided women much needed guidance in how to survive without the support of a man.…
