		During the civil wars she wrote a Lamentation (1410) and a Livre de la paix (1412-1413), but after the disasters of the campaign of Agincourt and subsequent occupation of Paris by the English and Burgundians, she retired to the Dominican convent in Poissy, where her daughter was a already nun.

		Christine de Pisan was born in Venice in 1365 into an Italian academic family.
		Christine's defense of women offers "two central things: It is a demonstration of the fact that...[women] perform their allotted roles and duties virtuously, as well as a call for the recognition of the moral worth of women by others and by themselves." It is not an argument for women changing their social or political position.
