Christine de Pizan on educating girls

[medievalrosalie]

A little quote from our beloved Christine de Pizan about the education of girls and women, which you can find in my book, "The Secret Lives of Single Medieval Women."
 

Christine was only married for a brief portion of her life and was educated as a young, unmarried women, and ran a successful business for many years as a widowed, single woman after the age of 25.

You can find out more about attitudes and educational opportunities for young women in my book, which is out now, online and through your favourite book seller. Published by Mango Publishing earlier this year, and available here.
