Motivated Sadness

At times, Pizan felt like a second-class citizen inhabiting a Middle-Aged female forme. Whether or not this motivated her melancholy, further defined her femininity or both are worthy of further discussion and analysis.

Moving towards this "enlightenment" is immobilizing and the manifestation of metaphysics of the Platonic form for the ideal is the path worth pursuing as per the Ancient Greeks.
