Womanhood refers to the condition of woman.
In this essay, Luisa A. V. Rodal explores both the condition for being a woman and the conditions through which woman has traversed throughout history.
Her proposal is to be aware and conscious that the ultimate meaning of woman springs from humanness.
Directly pointing to a shared humanity, friendship, solidarity, society (from the unity of the family to the peaceful coexistence and dialogue between different traditions) the condition of woman opens to all fields of culture (legal, social, economic, religious, scientific, artistic, etcetera). Hence, in the end, the problem of Womanhood leads towards the importance of dignity, respect, freedom, and rights of all human beings through a utopian ethical path (as a never fully reached aim and yet as a permanent will).
