The Book of the City of Ladies
''The Book of the City of Ladies'' or ''Le Livre de la Cité des Dames'' (finished by 1405), is perhaps Christine de Pizan's most famous literary work, and it is her second work of lengthy prose. Pizan uses the vernacular French language to compose the book, but she often uses Latin-style syntax and conventions within her French prose.〔Forhan, Kate Langdon. ''The Political Theory of Chrisine Pizan''. Burlington: Ashgate: 2002. Print. Women and Gender in the Early Mod. World.
〕 The book serves as her formal response to Jean de Meun's popular ''Roman de la Rose''. Christine combats Meun's statements about women by creating an allegorical city of ladies. She defends women by collecting a wide array of famous females throughout history. These women are "housed" in the City of Ladies, which is actually Christine's book. As Christine builds her city, she uses each famous woman as a building block for not only the walls and houses of the city, but also as building blocks for her thesis. Each woman added to the city adds to Christine's argument towards women as valued participants in society. She also advocates in favor of education for women.
Christine de Pizan also finished by 1405 ''The Treasure of the City of Ladies'' (''Le tresor de la cité des dames de degré en degré'', also known ''The Book of the Three Virtues''), a manual of education, dedicated to Princess Margaret of Burgundy. This aims to educate women of all estates, the latter telling women who have husbands: "If she wants to act prudently and have the praise of both the world and her husband, she will be cheerful to him all the time".〔Cantor, Norman. The Medieval Reader. p. 230〕 Her ''Book'' and ''Treasure'' are her two best-known works, along with the ''Ditie de Jehanne D'Arc''.
