“When God made man, He made the woman from the man’s side, that she might be his equal. He did not make her out of the man’s head, nor out of his feet, so that she would be neither wife nor husband, but He made her to be his equal. Thus the righteous soul must be with God as equal and with Him as neighbor, exactly at the same height, not lower or higher. (I want to be silent about God, II Sermons, Meister Eckhart, p. 160, Hist. Ed. Groningen, 2001)
