De Pizan

  • She didn't have the same kind of family commitments, so she was able to be a public woman.
  • Proto-feminist, but there are complications
    • She's an advocate for women's education
    • Her work dealt with women of many ranks and in roles outside of home and family
    • She advocated women using language to protect themselves and further their goals
    • BUT she upholds several conventional, subjugated female tropes
