Product Information: - Title of Product: The Book of the City of Ladies by de Pizan, Christine|Brown-Grant, Rosalind|Brown-Grant, Rosalind [Royal Edition] Author: de Pizan, Christine|Brown-Grant, Rosalind|Brown-Grant, Rosalind Number of Pages: 336 Publication Year: 2000 Language: English Book Synopsis: - A fascinating insight into the debates and controversies about the position of women in medieval culture, written by France's first professional woman of letters The pioneering Book of the City of Ladies begins when, feeling frustrated and miserable after reading a male writer's tirade against women, Christine de Pizan has a dreamlike vision where three virtues--Reason, Rectitude and Justice--appear to correct this view. They instruct her to build an allegorical city in which womankind can be defended against slander, its walls and towers constructed from examples of female achievement both from her own day and the past: ranging from warriors, inventors and scholars to prophetesses, artists and saints. Christine de Pizan's spirited defence of her sex was unique for its direct confrontation of the misogyny of her day, and offers a telling insight into the position of women in medieval culture. The Book of the City of Ladies provides positive images of women, ranging from warriors and inventors, scholars to prophetesses, and artists to saints.

This book is perfect as was the communication from the Seller! It is a gift for our new Electrician grandson & he will be thrilled. The packaging was excellent, especially considering the miles it had to travel to get to us: bubble wrap padding with cardboard reinforcements inside of a plastic envelope with the perfect amount of tape to secure it all. Kudos to Royal Editions : )

It took a month to arrive, but was well worth the wait. Quality materials and binding, just as advertised. Securely packaged and sealed. A great value in an otherwise rare and out of print book.
