Christine de Pisan (Venice, 1364 - Poissy Monastery,

around 1430) was a philosopher, humanist poet and

writer.
His most notorious work is The locality of women (1405),
considered by several authors as a precursor of
Western feminism and is located at the beginning of the
so-called quarrel of women, a literary debate that
arose around the case of women and their custody in
the case of subordination that marked the era.
Christine De Pizan was the daughter of Tomas de Pizan,
a physicist, court astrologer, and Chancellor of the
Republic of Venice. After his origin, his father accepted
an invitation to the court of the monarch Charles V of
France as a royal astrologer, alchemist and physicist. In
this area, Pizan has been able to develop his intellectual
interests. Christine has been successfully self-taught, and
learned to speak French, Italian and Latin. There he
found the traditional and early Renaissance humanism
and the royal document of Charles V, which housed a
large number of manuscripts. Thus he spent his
childhood at the court of the monarch Charles V of
France, of whom he later wrote the biography.
De Pizan teaching her son, Jean Castel.
 In 1380 at the age of 15 she married Étienne du Castel
(court clerk), in which it has been an extraordinarily
happy marriage. Unfortunately, the monarch Carlos V
passed away that same year and several of Étienne's
earnings were reduced by the new monarch. Tomaso,
her father, died thanks to a pathology in 1390 and
Étienne also died suddenly, for which Christine was left
a widow at the age of 25, in command of 3 boys, her
mother and a niece.
