| CHRISTINE DE PIZAN |
"Christine de Pizan, sometimes known as de Pisan, (Venice 1364 – France 1430) was an Italian French late mediaeval author. She spent most of her childhood and all of her adult life in Paris and then the abbey
at Poissy. She wrote only in her adopted language, Middle French. She
challenged the male-dominated realm of the arts. She is known as
Europe’s first professional woman writer.
She wrote both poetry and prose works. There were biographies
and books of practical advice for women. She wrote 41 works in her
30-year career from 1399–1429. She married in 1380 at the age of 15, and
was widowed 10 years later.
Her influence carried all throughout Europe. It affected the social life for many Europeans because she gave confidence to women that they could rise beyond what men told them to do".
