If it were customary to send young girls to school and then to let them, exactly like boys, learn the sciences, they would learn them just as well as the boys and would comprehend the subtlest details of all the arts and sciences as effortlessly as the boys do. Moreover, such women exist. As I explained to you above, the situation is as follows: the more women are inferior to men in terms of physical strength, the weaker and less skillful they are in certain areas, the more intelligent and sagacious they become in the areas where they really set to work with a will. (Christine de Pisan 1986 [1405]: 94 [translated by C. Molina])
