About this Event

What is man? What is woman? Now, more than ever, we need to know.

To help us we turn to two of the most interesting thinkers on the sexes: Gertrud von Le Fort, author of The Eternal Woman, and Walter Ong S.J., author of Fighting for Life: Contest, Sexuality and Consciousness.

Gudrun Trausmuth, chair of the Gertrud von Le Fort Society, and theologian Fr. Christian Raab will present their thought and engage in dynamic conversation on the ideas of the two great thinkers.

All are cordially invited to join us September 17 at 7 p.m. in the John Paul II National Shrine auditorium. Reception to follow.
