The Book of the City of Ladies PDF
By:Christine Pizan
Published on 1999-06-09 by Penguin UK


Christine de Pizan (c.1364-1430) was France's first professional woman of letters. Her pioneering Book of the City of Ladies begins when, feeling frustrated and miserable after reading a male writer's tirade against women, Christine has a dreamlike vision where three virtues - Reason, Rectitude and Justice - appear to correct this view. They instruct her to build an allegorical city in which womankind can be defended against slander, its walls and towers constructed from examples of female achievement both from her own day and the past: ranging from warriors, inventors and scholars to prophetesses, artists and saints. Christine de Pizan's spirited defence of her sex was unique for its direct confrontation of the misogyny of her day, and offers a telling insight into the position of women in medieval culture. THE CITY OF LADIES provides positive images of women, ranging from warriors and inventors, scholars to prophetesses, and artists to saints. The book also offers a fascinating insight into the debates and controversies about the position of women in medieval culture.

La société wolof. Tradition et changement PDF By:BARA DIOP Abdoulaye Published on 2012-06-13 by KARTHALA Editions La société wolof. Tradition et changement : les systèmes d'inégalité et de domination Publié avec le concours de l'IFAN (Dakar) et de l'Université R. Descartes (Paris). Les Wolof et le Sénégal apparaissent dans la littérature dès le XVe siècle, avec les récits des premiers voyageurs portugais sur la côte occidentale de l’Afrique. Les écrits qui les concernent se multiplient à l’ère des comptoirs commerciaux français et anglais. Et, aujourd’hui, nous disposons sur eux de bon nombre d’études scientifiques d’histoire, de géographie humaine, de linguistique, de sociologie. Cependant, ces études s’attachent surtout à explorer un domaine particulier comme celui des castes ou des confréries religieuses. L’ouvrage d’Abdoulaye Bara Diop propose, lui, une première analyse d’ensemble de cette société, basée essentiellement sur des observations directes et des entretiens av...
