“How can the lives of women be known if men write all the books? This is the central question asked by the medieval writer Christine de Pizan (1364– c.1430) – the first woman to earn a living as a professional writer. Her proto-feminist manuscript Le Livre de la Cité des Dames (The Book of the City of Ladies; 1405) was the first historical account of great women throughout time.”
