    Get Lit Episode 314: Christine de Pisan

    Send us a text Need to be inspired this week? Look no further than our author this week, Christine de Pisan! de Pisan was a poet, novelist, and biographer who used her voice and talents with a pen to advocate for women all over Europe. Her early feminist works explore the role of women in the late medieval period, providing valuable insight to the lives of those so often left out of the narrative. She was also the person to document (via poem) the life of Joan of Arc during her lifetime. Her remarkable work is even more compelling in the circumstances of her life.
