从《妇女城》看欧洲文艺复兴时期女性的家庭地位

On the family status of women in the Renaissance in Europe from “Women's City”

法国女作家克里斯蒂娜·德·皮桑在15世纪初完成了《妇女城》这本著作。她在书中描绘和赞美了许多女性形象,但在现实社会中人们对女性角色的定位主要是其在家庭中的身份,即未婚少女、妻子和母亲。即使皮桑给予了这三种身份的女性很高评价,赞美她们孝顺、忠贞于丈夫和家庭、热爱孩子等美德,但从当时占主导地位的社会文化和现实来看,这三种身份的女性在家庭中的地位并不高。这一事实与瑞士学者雅各布·布克哈特提出的文艺复兴同样也是妇女的复兴解放时代理论存在很大的出入。

The French writer Christina De Pizan completed 'Women's City' in early fifteenth Century. She described and praised many women's images in the book, but in the real society, the position of women's role is mainly in the identity of the family, that is, unmarried girls, wives and mothers. Even Pizan given the identity of the three women a high evaluation and praise for their virtue of filial piety and loyalty to her husband and family, love children, but from the dominant position in the social culture and the reality, the identity of the women in the family status is not high. The revival of this fact has great difference with Swiss scholar Jacob Burckhardt's opinion that Renaissance is also women's liberation.
