Christine de Pisa is called the first fem-writer in history. Her "Book of the City of Women" (1405) is a real apology for the female sex.
The writer, tired of humiliating male slander, stereotypes and backbiting, is visited by allegorical incarnations of Reason, Righteousness and Justice. Having enlisted their support, she sets to work to sing to the whole world the valor of women, their virtues and contribution to the development of culture and society.
Here is the first full commented translation into Russian of this visionary medieval work, which reflects hopes for justice, understanding and respect for human dignity that are close to our time.
