Christine de Pizan / The City of Ladies - Day Two

Please discuss two ways in which you think Christine works to establish her feminine literary authority in what you have read for today. You can discuss themes, characters, examples, ideas, etc. that she employs in this latter section of her book. How does what she do here relate to what we discussed Tuesday in class (her attempts to work against the monolith of male authority before her, her overall projects and aims in the text, etc.)? Does she introduce anything new here?
