French poet and arguably the first female author. 1364-1430 French writer. She was the daughter of an astrologer to Charles V and the wife of a court secretary and took up writing to support her children when she was widowed, producing 10 volumes of graceful verse, including ballads, rondeaux, lays, and complaints, many in the courtly-love tradition. Some works, both poetry and prose, champion women, notably The Book of the City of Ladies (1405).   Related Paintings of Christine de Pisan :. | The woman of the pearl | The Annunciation | Portrait of a Young Man | Portrait of the young Andres Luna, the son of Juan Luna, created | View of Leiden dg |
