 Continued quote from Pacem in Terris by Pope John XXIII

"Since women are becoming ever more conscious of their human dignity they will not tolerate being treated as mere material instruments, but demand rights befitting a human person both in domestic and public life."

Since this was written, women engaged in Church ministry----especially in teaching and in research have more than doubled their efforts in making sure---that the work and contributions of their spiritual sisters of the past will not remain covered or forgotten.
