Edith Stein (1891-1942): politics and education as tools of social change in favor of women in the early twentieth century
Abstract
Saint John Paul II (1999), in the Apostolic Letter in the form of "Motu Proppio" Spes Aedificandi for the proclamation of Edith Stein co-patron of Europe, together with Saint Bridget of Sweden and Saint Catherine of Siena, highlighted our protagonist as an example of defence of both social promotion and mission of women in society.
She is a multifaceted woman who has a recognized international prestige within the philosophical and theological field. Almost a century later, her intellectual thinking still surprises and attracts us. Observing external needs, apprehending them and processing them internally to decide a well-supported response can be the summary of the unifying thread that characterized Edith Stein’s procedure (1891-1942). To get closer to her work, we have multiple researches about her intellectual legacy. The challenge we set ourselves in this reflection is to reveal her most unknown and pragmatic side oriented towards social change. In order to do this, we will make a foray into the political and pedagogical activity developed by our protagonist in the early twentieth century.
