In the City of Ladies
The Book of the City of Ladies (1405), or Le Livre de la Cité des Dames, was Christine de Pisan's response to Jean de Meun's The Romance of the Rose. Christine combats Meun's misogynist beliefs 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 defense of female rights.

After doing the weekly supermarket shop I wondered how many different types of Pink Lady I might find elsewhere. Surprise, surprise - they crop up all over the place, and not all of them are crunchy and sweet!
