christians arrived in what is now western germany. extraordinary women have always played an important role in the charge, but they have often been restricted by the role the male clergy allotted to them. they were expected to be demure and subservient. so who exactly was sent ursula, and how did her legend come about? yeah, i think it was ain't ursula is a british princess all kings georgia and it's time for her to get married. if i father agrees to him marrying a young man named a t s t of use these act and that he does it. she says she wants to go on a pilgrimage to rome 1st and then think about this marriage at nothing. then it give the thief that's yeah. a turns out that i live in virginia or to accompany her on this journey into a game vans honors. i've been lighten up over the centuries the famous arithmetical era crept in,

a number of years. so it answers to her ethical questions in humanist philosophy. women's rights, while one of her major preoccupations, she wrote, there is no job that can't be done by a woman. after all, the woman is just a woman. each woman has her individual characteristics and disposition, just as a man does. this helped and she was one of the 1st women to receive a doctorate in philosophy. the fact that she chose philosophy and then also completed this degree very successfully and acquired her doctorate with the highest grade with whom loud de also corresponds to her personality at the time, which was very clear, very disciplined, is very strict, very intellectually oriented. all school is that then aided stein had a crisis. she tried 4 times to be admitted to the post doctoral program that could lead to a university teaching korea. but it was in vain. as a woman and a jew, a chair in philosophy was close to her in the germany of the 1920s. she wrote an

experience that exceeded my strength, sapped my spiritual vitality and made all activity impossible. until in anti semitism at german universities didn't 1st emerge in 1933 and it certainly had an impact on her self image of sustenance. also got discovered she suffered repeated psychological crisis when to still end. as the students she suffered from severe depression and there were clearly crises in her life. however, this makes her not only a complex personality, but also a very distinct person. bush on, on a brazil my poor fear. sister anne silla believes that its normal to experience ruptures. crises and tensions on the road to holiness is dinky. he, i think the saints are with us in life. an orange of the beaks is in
