Now synthesized for students, \u003ci\u003eThe Concept of Woman\u003c\/i\u003e is the ideal textbook for classes on gender in Catholic thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Allen surveys Greek philosophers, medieval saints, and modern thinkers to trace the development of integral gender complementarity. This doctrine--a living idea according to the criteria of John Henry Newman--affirms the equal dignity of men and women and the synergetic relationship between them. Allen pays special attention to John Paul II's contributions to this holistic idea of gender. Readers will gain valuable context for current debates over womanhood and come to a greater appreciation of human personhood.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSister Prudence Allen, RSM\u003c\/b\u003e, is a retired professor of philosophy at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary, Denver, Colorado and professor emeritus of Concordia University, Montreal.
