Christine de Pisa has been called the first feminist writer in history. Her "Book of the City of Ladies" (1405) unfolds a veritable apology for the female sex.

Tired of humiliating male slander, stereotypes, and slander, the writer is visited by allegorical embodiments of Reason, Righteousness, and Justice. Enlisting their support, she sets to work to extol to the world the valor of women, their virtues, and their contribution to the development of culture and society.

Here is the first complete, annotated translation into Russian of this visionary medieval work, which reflects hopes for justice, understanding, and respect for human dignity that are still relevant today.

Partially missing pagination on the pages.
