Who was Joan of Arc? Was she a hero, a saint, a witch, a martyr, a patriot, a mentally ill person or a visionary? Although we do not know much about her, except for the information gathered during her trial, she is part of the Western imaginary as a woman who challenged traditions and stereotypes and changed the course of history during her short life. We will learn about her life and deeds and will discuss the meaning of her actions and her significance as a symbol of women’s heroism as well as the reactions to and interpretations of her and her behaviors through the centuries.
