Quoted By:
1483–1546: Martin Luther
>"The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes."
>"No gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise."
"What defects women have, we must check them for in private, gently by word of mouth, for woman is a frail vessel.
—Table-Talk, DCXXXVII
"“For woman seems to be a creature somewhat different from man, in that she has dissimilar members, a varied form and a mind weaker than man. Although Eve was a most excellent and beautiful creature [...] yet she was a woman. For as the sun is more glorious than the moon, though the moon is a most glorious body, so woman, though she was a most beautiful work of God, yet she did not equal the glory of the male creature.”
—Commentary on Genesis, Chapter 2, Part V, 27b.
