• W2766493419 abstract "REVIEWS Rosalind Brown-Grant, Christine de Pizan and the Moral Defence of Women: Reading Beyond Gender (Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press 1999) xiv + 224 pp. Rosalind Brown-Grant’s recent study of Christine de Pizan begins by considering the problem that contemporary feminist scholars have had with Christine’s work. On one side of the feminist debate, scholars have lauded Christine for challenging the misogynist ideology of her time while praising her work as a precursor to important points in post- structuralist feminist theory. The other side of the debate has criticized Christine de Pizan for not advocating reform of the late medieval social order in her work or even for not suggesting the possibility of equal rights for women. Brown-Grant’s answer to both these feminist camps is to point out the anachronistic criteria by which both groups have based their judgment of Christine’s work. Both camps do not consider the original cultural context of Christine de Pizan’s writing. This basic tenet of reading Christine’s work in its historical context is the platform that Brown-Grant utilizes to open up the question of Christine de Pi- zan’s “feminist” work. Brown-Grant’s book reevaluates Christine de Pizan’s prose by balancing a critical engagement of contemporary feminist scholarship with a lucid and meticulously researched reading of Pizan’s texts in light of its historical and cultural context. What ensues is a persuasive argument that explains how Christine, like so many of her male contemporaries, considered an author’s role as primarily one that instructed and advised his/her readers in ethics and morality. Brown-Grant asserts that “it is this emphasis on ethics, rather than simply a desire to provide positive images of female characters, that gives Christine’s work in defence of women a far greater unity than has often previously been thought” (3). She argues that Christine de Pizan’s feminism is based “on a broader moral vision, one which refused to see virtue as an exclusively male preserve and which sought to prove that both sexes were capable of pursuing the universal goal of moral self-edification” (3). Christine de Pizan tailored this moral per- spective on gender to each genre she wrote in as well as to each audi- ence that she wrote for. Christine de Pizan’s specific didactic purpose reveals much about how she shaped her defense of women with each specific reading audience in mind. Rosalind Brown-Grant’s study has two main criteria for deciding" @default.
