As a pioneering work by a female author, Christine de Pizan's treatise addresses not only rulers but also nobles, knights, and common citizens, emphasizing interdependence and social responsibility. Grounded in medieval Christian thought, it anticipates Renaissance humanism by celebrating classical culture and Roman civic virtues. The text advocates for integrity in public life and underscores the balance between rights and responsibilities, making its message relevant even in contemporary discussions of governance and civic duty.
