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.

Review\nSexuality is particularly linked to the concept of personal intimacy. It is a central theme of the book. These are pages to be read attentively. The essential link between sexuality and intimacy is modesty.\nModesty is clearly explained in the book. offer a few reflections. Modesty is the nonrevelation of the person to eyes that would degrade her, as an object to be used. Tragically, the person herself may consent to be degraded. This, it seems to me, is the deep meaning of Jesus words concerning adultery in the heart [Mt. 6:27-28]. The eyes of conjugal love can see the person without degrading her. Conjugal love is chaste, while unchaste love is a contradiction in terms.\nDr. von Hildebrand s book offers a true analysis of intimacy and modesty in current Western culture. The author rightly dedicates some pages to pornography, the total violation of personal intimacy, because it reduces a person to a toy, degrades her to the level of an object. --Carlo Cardinal Caffarra, Archbishop of Bologna\nWhat Dr. von Hildebrand has to say on the topic of sexual relations is, first, radical, in the correct and traditional sense of that word: it goes to the root of the matter. Her scrutiny here is rooted unabashedly in the creational vision disclosed to us in Sacred Scripture, and in the unremitting teaching of the Church. And, second, it is salvific, again in the ancient sense of that word: it rescues this most fundamental of all human relations from its ruin at the hands of contemporaneity. An incalculably important work. --Thomas Howard, Author

"When the intellectual history of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is written," said Pope Benedict XVI, "the name of Dietrich von Hildebrand will be most prominent among the figures of our time.""Edith Stein was," said Time magazine, "one of the most remarkable women of her time."Born two years apart, both were converts to Catholicism and students of Edmund Husserl, the noted 20th century philosopher. Although they met during their lives, they only knew each other casually. Yet there were major similarities in their lives.Noted Catholic author, lecturer and philosopher Alice von Hildebrand has taken on the task of briefly profiling these two great 20th century Catholics, using as her point of reference the memoirs of each. In the case of her late husband Dietrich von Hildebrand, she is the only person who has read his memoirs in their entirety. This, and her life as his wife, make Dietrich von Hildebrand and Edith Stein: Husserl's Students a study like no other.
