Pilot Episode Re-Release! Christine and The Book of the City of Ladies

Trobár Talks

We are re-releasing our first ever podcast conversation in time for the return of one of our favorite programs, A Room of Her Own: Christine de Pizan's Defense of Women (coming to Cleveland October 25-26!). Founding members Allison Monroe, Elena Mullins, and Karin Weston discuss Pizan's bold and ambitious defense of women in her masterpiece, The Book of the City of Ladies. We also take a closer look at some of the hair-raising, misogynistic texts that Christine so ably rebutted and explore how these themes affected the vocal music of Christine's day.
More information about A Room of Her Own: Christine de Pizan's Defense of Women is available here, and you can reserve your seat today here!
