15 II,4 | this point of view, the "woman" is the representative and
16 II,4 | can only belong to the "woman", Mary: the union between
17 II,5 | what is characteristic of woman", of "what is feminine".
18 II,5 | considering the reality "Woman - Mother of God", we enter

24 III,6 | Man is a person, man and woman equally so, since both were
25 III,6 | to this property, man and woman are able to "dominate" the
26 III,6 | of man, and especially of woman. In a sense the language
27 III,6 | concerning man created as man and woman in the image and likeness
28 III,6 | found in Gen 2:1 8-25, the woman is created by God "from

43 III,7 | this in the sense that the woman must "help" the man - and
44 III,7 | sense this enables man and woman to discover their humanity
45 III,7 | whole truth about man and woman - a truth which is already
46 III,7 | anthropology. Man - whether man or woman - is the only being among
