Medieval Europe's First Paid FEMALE Author | Christine de Pizan

Who would you think of as the first published female writer? The answer is Christine de Pizan, a French woman who lived in the medieval period, and stood up for women by arguing against misogyny. In this documentary I cover her life, her writing, and why it was so important.
