Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterizes the difference between such views as based on whether man's vision is secularistic or steeped in the supernatural. She shows that feminism's attempts to gain equality with men by imitation of men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. The Blessed Mother's role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege of being a woman. Both virginity and maternity meet in Mary who exhibits the feminine gifts of purity, receptivity to God's word, and life-giving nurturance at their highest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice von Hildebrand received a master's degree and doctorate in philosophy from Fordham University in New York.
