The Allegory of Female Authority by Maureen Quilligan
The first professional female writer, Christine de Pizan (1363-1431) was widowed at age twenty-five and supported herself and her family by enlisting powerful patrons for her poetry. Her Livre de la Cite des Dames (1405) is the earliest European work...The Allegory of Female Authority eleborates the case for the uniqueness and relevance of Christine de Pizan and her work and for bringing both 'the problem of the author' and the reexamination of medieval texts closer to current centers of critical and theoretical attention
