Christine de Pizan (ca. 1364-ca. 1431) has long been recognized as France's first professionalwoman of letters, and interest in her voluminous and wide-ranging corpus has beensteadily rising fordecades. During the tumultuous later years of the Hundred Years' War,Christine's lone but strong feminine voice could be heard defending women, expounding thehighest ideals for good governance,and lamenting France's troubled times alongside herown personal trials. In The Mutability of Fortune, Christine fuses world history with autobiographyto demonstrate mankind's subjugation tothe ceaselessly changing, and often cruel,whims of Fortune. Now, for the first time, this poem is accessible to an English-speakingaudience, further expanding our appreciation of this ground-breakingwoman author andher extraordinary body of work.
