Méliès' historical drama presents a rare early example of a female-centric narrative. By showcasing Joan of Arc as a military leader, the film highlights her strong convictions and leadership within a medieval framework. However, the work remains traditional, reinforcing established religious and institutional hierarchies. The film's adherence to historical homogeneity and institutional authority limits its diversity score.
