In her Livre de la Cité des Dames, Christine de Pizan (1364-ca. 1430) pic­tures a utopi­an city, pop­u­lat­ed by women. In pass­ing she sings the praise of illus­tri­ous per­son­ae such as Ariadne, Dido, and the Virgin, who also fig­ured in diaphanous chan­sons and motets by Da Bologna, Dufay and oth­er late medieval com­posers. La Fonte Musica brings homage to this first ever ​‘fem­i­nist’.
