Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Education of Women: From Hilda to Hildegarde Much has been said and written in recent years concerning the education of women. A casual reader might be led to infer that woman today is enjoying intellectual advantages never before shared by her sex. But the student of history knows that from the very dawn of Christianity the portals of learning´s temple have been open wide to both men and women. The five centuries between St. Hilda and St. Hildegarde were prolific of strong women whose intellectual acumen has not been surpassed in any other period of the world´s history. The Teutonic races in England and along the Rhine, between the seventh and twelfth centuries, accorded to woman a unique position. Her dignity was respected, her ability was acknowledged, and her freedom was unquestioned. When these vigorous people experienced the refining influence of the Church of Rome, the feminine mind reached a degree of development in accordance with the universally recognized standards of the times. Anglo-Saxon women distinguished themselves in the arts and sciences of their day. What their talent and industry, under the fostering care of the Church, accomplished for the economic and intellectual welfare of mankind is hard to over estimate. Their spiritual influence casts a halo over the whole period of Anglo-Saxon culture which makes the epoch shine with unrivaled brilliance in the annals of ecclesiastical history.
