	Christine de Pizan: Equalizing Love in the City of Women
		Hailed as a proto-feminist, Christine de Pizan (circa 1364–circa 1431) railed against the misogynist view of love that had been promoted in Ovid and the Roman de la Rose.
		Such works filled her with a hatred of self “and of the entire feminine sex, as though we were monstrosities of nature.” Her response was Le Livre de la Cité des Dames (1405), which laid the foundation for a renewed interest in women, on women's terms.
		Using works that had often been used in misogynist ways, Christine highlighted the virtuous actions of the women therein, focusing on their steadfastness and nobility in the sphere of love.

		Christine de Pizan, an Italian-born writer in French in the early fifteenth century, composed lyric poetry, debate poetry, political biography, and allegory.
		At times complicit, at times subversive, at times revisionary, her texts constantly negotiate the hierarchical and repressive discourses of late medieval court culture.
		How they do so is the focus of this volume, which places Christine's work in the context of larger discussions about medieval authorship, identity, and categories of difference.
