Christine de Pizan

    Christine de Pizan was a medieval author and analyst who strongly challenged the misogyny and stereotypes prevalent in the male-dominated arts. Her body of work, comprising innovative writing and rhetorical techniques, critically challenged renowned male writers and their misogynistic beliefs. De Pizan earned accolades as Europe's first professional woman writer, and her works have seen a resurgence in recent decades. Her use of language conveyed the idea that women could play important roles in society.
