Women in Literature
7 ENOCRATE MOUNTYJOY’S series of eight talks on The Position of Women as Reflected in Literature, now being broadcast from 3YA, is still in its first half, but it has taken shape already as a coherent and at times vivid account. The material of these talks-quotation, anecdote, historical background-is combined in just the right proportions to make the whole comprehensible to the listener. In the third and most recent
of these talks, which dealt with "The Coming of Christianity," we pass from the exaltation of the Roman Cornelia to the picture of Woman the Temptress, as painted by St. Paul, and*the Early Christians. There is a drop to sea-level in Nitzsche: "Man was created for war, and woman for the recreation of ‘the warrior." But such is our experience of ~serials-and of mountainous countrywe know that Woman will rise again in the next instalment.
