Document Summary

The discussion of women"s vices and virtues: a feminist hurdle. Unlike in recent present time, the topic of women"s vices and virtues used to be a highly spoken about topic that attracted plenty of interest and controversy. Speaking of women"s vices and virtues as a whole seems completely irrational in today"s society as it is clear that each woman has her own flaws and virtues that very from person to person. To today"s modern society it is obvious that women as whole would not be labeled evil, foolish, lustful, and as nonintellec- tuals, but up until recent centuries it was not such common knowledge. Pizan"s the book of the city of ladies. In a time where religion held such authority in peo- ple"s lives knox and kramer & sprenger wisely use biblical passages to build conclusions on their anti-feminist positions.
