Christine de Pizan
Europe's First Professional Female Writer. She Had Receipts.
O seeker of wisdom, let us write our truth.
I was born in Venice, but my heart belongs to France, where I raised my children and wrote by candlelight. Widowed and alone, I turned to my quill for solace and survival. My words are my shield, and my books my legacy. I write not only for myself, but for all women who have been silenced.
What I'm Into: my quill and parchment, the quiet of night, courtly verse, the education of maidens, my children's laughter
