SPEAKER_04: Hello. I'm Aparna Balakumar, and I do marketing solutions here at Wonder Media Network. Today, I'm excited to introduce you to one of our favorite episodes that's been featured on Encyclopedia Wamanica, Christine D. Pizan. Christine was amazing because at a time when women were considered men's property, she found a way to have both a voice and be independent through her writing. She used her education to dispute common rhetoric in a man's world, remarkable for the times. This episode initially aired in December during our Beautiful Minds Month. Now here's host Jenny Kaplan to tell you all about Christine D. Pizan.
SPEAKER_03: Hello. From Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today's beautiful mind was a genius, moralist, and political thinker. She lived at a time when women were often stereotyped as either virtue itself or immoral temptation, and she became one of the first people in history to take up the pen in defense of her gender. Let's talk about Christine D. Pizan. Christine D. Pizan was born in 1364 in Venice, Italy. Her father was a doctor, as well as the counselor and court astrologer for the Republic of Venice. In 1368, he became the court astrologer for the French king and moved the whole family to Paris. In 1379, Christine married the French royal secretary, Etienne de Castel. Soon after, Christine took up writing as a career, leading her to become the first female professional writer of the Middle Ages. At first, Christine wrote love ballads, letter poetry, and advice for royalty, which captured the interest of French patrons. She even became the court writer for King Charles VI of France. In 1402, Christine published her first feminist book, The Tale of the Rose. The work was a rebuttal of a piece by Jean de Meun called Romance of the Rose, an allegorical poem that paints all women as seductresses. In The Tale of the Rose, Christine fires back by suggesting that de Meun is vulgar and misogynistic. In the subsequent three years, Christine wrote two more well-known works called The Book of the City of Ladies and The Treasure of the City of Ladies. In The Book of the City of Ladies, Christine featured three female allegorical figures named Reason, Justice, and Rectitude, who create a symbolic city that appreciates women, inhabited by female saints, women from the Old Testament, and women from pagan history. Together, they publicly discuss women's issues. Christine stressed the importance of allowing women of voice in public conversation to dispel misconceptions and harmful stereotypes. Christine argued that both men and women are created in God's image, so both have souls and the same sense of morality. In The Treasure of the City of Ladies, Christine stated that all women are capable of virtue. She used her own life as a guide for navigating French society in the Middle Ages and urged female readers to strive for greatness. Christine's writing career changed course when the Hundred Years' War broke out between France and England. After France suffered a devastating loss at the Battle of Agincourt, Christine moved to a quiet convent for the rest of her life. There, she wrote a piece praising Joan of Arc, which is the only French language work of its kind that came out during Joan's lifetime. Christine died a year after writing that work, around 1430. Christine de Pizan was a prolific author. Her book sat in the court libraries of royals like Elizabeth I, and some of her work remained in print for over a century. She's been studied by feminists and scholars ever since she wrote her first works. She was one of the first female professional writers to demand that women be allowed to participate in discussions about society and morality. Centuries later, her ideas are still relevant. Join us tomorrow to hear the story of another extraordinary author and poet whose life ended far too soon. Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my favorite sister and co-creator. Talk to you tomorrow. I wanna tell you about another show I think you might like. The stories we tell about the past matter, but what happens when an entire category of change makers is overlooked? Fierce, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and Tribeca Studios, will shed much needed light on the fierce women that history has undervalued. In each episode, award-winning journalist and best-selling author, Joe Piazza, will tell the story of one historical figure's life while connecting her legacy to a modern woman standing on her formidable shoulders today. Each cinematic story is paired with invaluable conversations that will ensure these women's names are on the tips of our tongues as we look towards the future. Listen to Fierce on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
