St. Catherine, Reformer of the Clergy
Abstract
Woman has always exercised a directive influence on the affairs of the world. Silently and deftly she has sown those seeds of character and thought that have later blossomed into glorious achievements. The serious historian has rarely recorded her part for he has accepted it as axiomatic, and, consequently, beyond the pale of scientific investigation. Nor have her deeds made any appeal to the less exacting "great nan theorist", or, for that matter, to any theorist of history, sincener accomplishments do not possess the glamour of striking con- quests nor the attraction of new-found cults. The fulfillment of the natural purpose of ner existence has been her only inspiration.
