TREASURE OF CITY OF LADIES (TRANS LAWSON) (P)

Christine de Pisan's writing is a valuable counterbalance to most of the rest of our evidence of medieval life which was written by men. She addresses all women, from those at the royal court to prostitutes, painting a vivid picture of their lives in fine detail-and often in a dryly amusing way. Her tone is moral, but also down to earth. A woman's position, as Christine herself knew, was hardly secure.De Pisan, Christine is the author of 'TREASURE OF CITY OF LADIES (TRANS LAWSON) (P)' with ISBN 9780140444537 and ISBN 014044453X.
