Excerpt from Modern Woman and How to Manage Her St. Augustine asked why women were born at all, and warned young men to beware of the Eve in every woman. St. Jerome described woman as the root of all evil; and Luther, although he swept away the preposterous doc trine that celibacy is one of the highest moral virtues, advocated the withholding of culture from women on the ground that no gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise.
