Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterizes 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.

Alice has done it again! Wow!! Well written and researched as usual, the arguments presented make total sense. The women's movement has gone too far, denying what is most precious about womanhood. Trying to be like men is futile and women should be glad they have so many advantages over men, namely being capable of creating and carrying another soul within their body, the only thing that will last for an eternity! What a gift, emulating the B.V.M.!!
