“A fresh and provocative biography of La Pucelle . . . her transformation from a naive girl to a strong-willed, bold, and gifted captain of war.”—Frederic J. Baumgartner, author of France in the Sixteenth Century France’s great heroine and England’s great scourge: whether a lunatic, a witch, a religious icon, or a skilled soldier and leader, Joan of Arc’s contemporaries found her as extraordinary and fascinating as the legends that abound about her today. But her life has been so endlessly cast and recast that we have lost sight of the remarkable girl at the heart of it—a teenaged peasant girl who, after claiming to hear voices, convinced the French king to let her lead a disheartened army into battle. In the process she changed the course of European history. In The Virgin Warrior, Larissa Juliet Taylor paints a vivid portrait of Joan as a self-confident, charismatic and supremely determined figure, whose sheer force of will electrified those around her and struck terror into the hearts of the English soldiers and leaders. The drama of Joan’s life is set against a world where visions and witchcraft were real, where saints could appear to peasants, battles and sieges decided the fate of kingdoms and rigged trials could result in burning at the stake. Yet in her short life, Joan emboldened the French soldiers and villagers with her strength and resolve. A difficult, inflexible leader, she defied her accusers and enemies to the end. From her early years to the myths and fantasies that have swelled since her death, Taylor “goes deep into Joan of Arc’s heart and soul and shows us the maiden, the warrior and the heroine” (Kate Williams, New York Times bestselling author)./

Joan of Arc was an important person in history. At the time of Joan of Arc, the English controlled the Northern part of France and the French ruled the south. Joan of Arc was a illiterate French maid. The people in her area had a person they believed had the right to be the king but he could not be crowned king because by tradition the coronation ceremony had to take place in a certain city, Reims, France. However, he could not get there because it was in the North and the English controlled that place. The French had been fighting battles against the English for a long time about this but the English always won. The French always lost. Then, Joan of Arc came forward. She claimed that she had received voices from heaven who told her how to win the battles and to defeat the English. At first the commanders did not take her seriously and thought she was just a crazy girl. However, after they lost a few more battles and she successfully predicted the outcomes, they decided that they were doing so poorly that they might as well give her the chance. They put Joan of Arc in charge of the army and amazingly as soon as she became the commander, her forces started winning. They won battle after battle with Joan of Arc as their commander. Finally the French were able to capture Reims, the city they needed to capture so that the man they favored could be crowned king. They took that city and he was crowned King Charles VII. Thus, her main goal was accomplished. However, not long thereafter Joan of Arc was captured by the English. They believed that she was a witch or an evil sorceress. They felt that she must be a witch because how else was it possible that a mere 19-year-old girl could so easily defeat the entire English Army. They checked her and she was a virgin, an important point. They were convinced that she must be a witch. So, they tied her to a stake, set a fire and burned her up. This was all done legally and proper-like, with witnesses, a trial and a verdict. She was burned at the Stake on May 30, 1431. Her birth date is not known. She is believed to have been 19 when she died. The Catholic Church declared on 16 May 1920 that Joan of Arc was a saint, not a witch. Now, she is called "Saint Joan." The question remains: Why would a saint have the power to defeat men in battle?

Studying history helps to create and reinforce a collective historical consciousness within Western society. Certain historical figures become consistent characters in the creation of our understanding of our humanity, which is then reintegrated into the historical consciousness. Literature for children is one of the ways in which society reinforces important historical figures and western society's perceptions of our historical past. Non-fiction, historical fiction and biographical writing are the three genres writers of children's literature use to teach children history. Joan of Arc has been manipulated by historians, writers and artists to become whatever was necessary for the particular society to believe in at the time. The consistency of Joan of Arc in the historical consciousness and her popularity among writers for children is not a coincidence. The fact that her personality and physical image is intangible and, therefore, a mystery, makes it easy for writers to make Joan into the person that they wish her to be. Currently, in our historical consciousness, Joan symbolizes patriotism, medieval chivalry, pop feminism, spirituality and heroism. The popularity Joan of Arc in contemporary children's literature is a result of and indeed part of the continual creation and re-interpretation of Western society's historical consciousness.

Joan of Arc was perhaps the most wonderful person who ever lived in the world. The story of her life is so strange that we could scarcely believe it to be true, if all that happened to her had not been told by people in a court of law, and written down by her deadly enemies, while she was still alive. She was burned to death when she was only nineteen: she was not seventeen when she first led the armies of France to victory, and delivered her country from the English.
