Lo peculiar del feminismo de Edith Stein. Sus bases antropológicas y teológicas

Abstract

The paper places the women´s claims in the historical context of the Weimar Republic after the defeat of the Prussian state in the Great War. Stein puts the anthropological and theological bases for the revaluation of women in the family and in civil society. Th at’s how it appears biographically in her service to the Red Cross or in the application to teaching and research, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, in lectures and conferences dedicated to the formation of women during the years 1928/33. Th e same functions of dominating the world and taking care of the off spring correspond to a man and a woman, but with a grater specificity of the first function in him and a specific priority of the second in her. Ahead of her time, she opens all the civil professions to women, leaving her with her specific feminine stamp.
