Edith Stein on the Woman's Soul



"Just so, woman's soul is designed to be subordinate to man in obedience and support; it is also fashioned to be shelter in which other souls may unfold."

"The soul of woman must therefore be expansive and open to all human beings; it must be quiet so that no small weak flame will be extinguished by stormy winds; warm so as to not benumb fragile buds; clear, so that no vermin will settle in dark corners and recesses; self-contained, so that no invasions from without can imperil the inner life; empty of itself, in order that extraneous life may have room in it; finally, mistress of itself and also of its body, so that the entire person is readily at the disposal of every call."

-Edith Stein, Fundamental Principles of Women's Education
