The Privilege of Being a Woman by Alice Von Hildebrand
Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterises the difference between such views as based on whether man's vision is secularistic or steeped in the supernatural. She shows that feminism's attempts to gain equality with men by imitation of men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. The Blessed Mother's role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege of being a woman. Both virginity and maternity meet in Mary who exhibits the feminine gifts of purity, receptivity to God's word, and life-giving nurturance at their highest.
Von Hildebrand: - Alice von Hildebrand was born in 1923 in Belgium and came to America in 1940. In 1949 she earned her Ph.D. in philosophy from Fordham University. There she met and studied under philosopher and anti-Nazi exile Dr. Dietrich von Hildebrand, whom she married. In 1947, Alice was hired as the first woman to teach philosophy at Hunter College (CUNY) in New York City. She has given hundreds of lectures throughout the United States, South America, and Europe. With Dietrich von Hildebrand, she collaborated on a number of major works, including The Art of Living. Alice von Hildebrand currently has in preparation numerous other works, including books on wisdom, widowhood, feminism, C.S. Lewis, Kierkegaard, and Plato.
