Women's existence, woman's soul
essence and existence in Edith Stein's later feminism
Laura Judd Beer
pp. 35-45
This article brings Stein's philosophical and feminist views together to examine developments in her thinking in the early 1930s. I focus on Stein's essay "Spirituality of the Christian Woman" as it relates to her philosophical questions about existence and essence in Finite and Eternal Being. I contend that Stein's "Spirituality of the Christian Woman" is both elucidated by and helps make sense of her philosophical developments at this time. I maintain that my contention can help us better understand Stein's relationship to gender essentialism.
