[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 177673, member: 17438"] You might be interested in St Catherine of Siena. Life in 14th-century Siena seemed to offer 16-year-old Catherine Benincasa only two alternatives, an arranged marriage or life as an enclosed nun. She rejected both and became an independent living woman without the support of a man or life as a passive nun. Instead by herself on a solitary mission to France after years of letter-writing, she ended the Avignon exile of the papacy and saved the city of Rome by walking at the pope's side back into Rome before dying at the tender age of 33 and who said: That's recorded by Raymond of Capua, her biographer. This was obviously her challenge to men who tried to disparage her. Quite handy I suppose to be able to claim that you are a female prophet with a divinely guided mission peacesignkaur She became one of history's first female politicians. She also taught: This quote from her was read out at Prince William and Kate's wedding because they were married on Catherine of Siena's feastday. I do not think that she accepted "male dominance" and she is a Doctor of the Church (the highest honour the church can confer on a canonised saint for his/her writings). BTW on the sexual issue, Saint Hildegard of Bingen - another Doctor of the Church - wrote extensively on the female orgasm. This was quite revolutionary, since most societies including ancient Rome, had had no or little regard for women's sexual pleasure: [SIZE=2]A little bit on her: [/SIZE] What's interesting is the speculation about how she got to know about the female orgasm so, uh, intimately when she lived in a convent full of women....I'll leave that to the imagination....icecreamkaur Also Bernini's "The Ecstasy of St Theresa".

St Teresa is having an orgasmic experience, and the arrow of the angel piercing her heart is deliberately phallic shaped, as it appeared in her recorded vision.
