The present crisis in world affairs has brought woman's position to the forefront in the programs of both friends and enemies of Christ and His Church. We welcome then the opportunity to discuss woman's duties in social and political life.Woman's dignity is from God. It is Our task to preserve and increase that dignity. The educational, economic and political position of modern woman hinge on one thing alone-woman's dignity. It is Our duty to maintain and strengthen that dignity, especially today when the world is passing through a momentous crisis. To view woman's position merely from an economic, political, or educational angle, would be to shirk the real point at issue, which is woman's dignity. It would do no good to anyone, least of all woman herself.Woman's dignity comes from God and rests in God. Hence no system advocating woman's rights can benefit woman unless its teaching is rooted in this basic principle.
