What’s Up With the Ending?

"And may I, your servant, commend myself to you, praying to God who by His grace has granted me to live in this world and to persevere in His holy service. May He in the end have mercy on my great sins and grant to me the joy which lasts forever, which I may, by His grace, afford to you. Amen." (3.19.6)

At the end of the book, Christine reminds her readers that she is ultimately a servant of God, just like any other good Christian. She's well aware that as the first woman to ever write a book defending women, she might get accused of having a big ego. She wants to assure her readers, though, that she has only written this book to serve God.

She also hopes that she'll go to heaven when she dies, because in heaven, all people are truly equal and the spirits of women are just as good as the spirits of men. This book has shown us her effort to convince people on Earth of this equality.
