How does Pizan respond to male authors’ depiction of women in her work?

Pizan stood strong to defend women and overturn the existing conception that men are superior in comparison with women. For instance, she turned to the bible over Eve-Adam’s story and strongly defended eve. She argued that the act of Eve giving fruit to her husband, mostly considered as deception of men by women was not a trickery situation but was a sign of sincere and true love. She argues that after Eve was deceived by the devil, she never recognized whether it was a deception aiding to a trap.  Full of love and care she gave her husband to taste how sweet the fruit was as opposed to how the most audience interprets it. In her writing she has criticized the authors whose work undermines the role of women; instead, she has considered women noble beings.
