Overview

Kim Powers sets out what Augustine actually wrote about women, and what the consequences of his attitudes have been. She looks at the religious, philosophical and biological assumptions Augustine shared with all his contemporaries, then at the influence of the women close to him, in particular his mother, Monica, and the woman with whom he lived for many years and who was the mother of his child.
