Christine de Pizan

 

Christine de Pizan (c. 1364-1430)

“As for the fact that the men who attacked and criticized women haven’t yet been challenged, let me tell you that there’s a time and a place for everything in the eternal scheme of things.”

  • From The Book of the City of Ladies (Part II, chapter 53) by Christine de Pizan, translated by Rosalind Brown-Grant (Penguin Classics, 1999).
