Helena Roerich on Women

“There exists a most ancient saying, "Where women are revered and safeguarded, prosperity reigns and the gods rejoice."”

“Woman must raise herself to such a degree, spiritually, morally and intellectually, that it will enable her to carry man with her. ... She must become not only an equal cooperator in the management of the whole life, but also an inspirer. The greatest task is to spiritualize and to restore the health of humanity by filling it with aspiration toward great deeds and beauty. But woman must first of all change herself!”
