A well-researched, excellent read.
The article is at least 1500 characters. The print sources are offline, so I accept in good faith that the article represents the sources' texts faithfully without straying into close paraphrasing or copyright violations. Cunard (talk) 10:24, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Addendum: The hook packs three interesting facts into 187 characters (below the 200-character limit).
File:Margaret of Burgundy, Dauphine of France.jpg is in the public domain, used in the article (it is cropped from File:Christine de Pizan presents her Book to Margaret of Burgundy.jpg), and shows well at a small size. Cunard (talk) 10:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
