Marie du jour, 14 May: St. Teresa of St. Augustine
O loving Queen, Mother of might most holy,
O deign to place us all within thy breast!
For in thy power, thy children all, though lowly,
Do set their hope, trusting in thy behest.Saint Teresa of St. Augustine
Excerpt from a Christmas carol
Note: Saint Teresa of St. Augustine, the prioress of the martyred Discalced Carmelite nuns of Compiègne, was born Marie Madeleine Claudine Lidoine in Paris on 22 September 1752. When she presented herself as a candidate for formation in the Carmel of Compiègne, she lacked the necessary dowry that postulants were expected to provide to support the community’s needs.
At that time, the prioress of the Carmel of Saint-Denis was Venerable Mother Teresa of St. Augustine—lovingly remembered by her baptismal name, Madame Louise—the daughter of King Louis XV. Upon learning of the young candidate’s financial difficulty, Madame Louise generously supplied the remaining funds needed for Madame Lidoine’s admission.
In gratitude for her benefactor’s generosity, the novice took the same religious name: Teresa of St. Augustine. That generosity would be repaid in sanctity. As prioress of Compiègne, Mother Teresa of St. Augustine led her sisters joyfully and courageously to the scaffold in revolutionary Paris on 17 July 1794. On 18 December 2024, the Church declared them Saints by equipollent canonization.

MEDEA: Of all creatures that live and understand,
we women suffer most.
In the first place we must, for a vast sum,
buy a husband; what’s worse,
with him our bodies get a master.
And here’s what’s most at stake:
Did we get a man who’s good or bad?
ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: πάντων δ᾽ ὅσ᾽ ἔστ᾽ ἔμψυχα καὶ γνώμην ἔχει
γυναῖκές ἐσμεν ἀθλιώτατον φυτόν:
ἃς πρῶτα μὲν δεῖ χρημάτων ὑπερβολῇ
πόσιν πρίασθαι, δεσπότην τε σώματος
[λαβεῖν: κακοῦ γὰρ τοῦτ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἄλγιον κακόν].
κἀν τῷδ᾽ ἀγὼν μέγιστος, ἢ κακὸν λαβεῖν
ἢ χρηστόν.Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 230ff (431 BC) [tr. Kovacs / Kitzinger (2016)]Sourcing, notes, alternate translations: wist.info/euripides/75792/

Unlike Egyptian women, women in ancient Greece “had little or no say in their own futures” (Blundell, 67). The relationship between “father-in-law and son-in-law” (Blundell, 67) was considered more important than husband and wife.
#Bridewealth, which became #dowries, was property and money used to “guarantee reasonable behavior on the part of the husband” (Blundell, 68), and help “ensure a decent standard of living” (Blundell, 68) for the wife.
It seems that when a divorce occurred, it was often initiated by the “bride’s father” (Blundell, 68), who “had a greater stake in her marriage” (Blundell, 68) because of the bridewealth / #dowry.
The ex-husband was “obligated to return the dowry to the ex-wife’s father or guardian” (Blundell, 68). Marriages existed mostly to produce male heirs who would “inherit their [father’s] property” (Blundell, 68). Female babies were often “abandoned” (Pomeroy, 157) because of their perceived liability.

My heart goes out to this woman. She deserves to live in a nation that values her as a person based on her character, not on her status as a marriageable female and the price she can fetch for a greedy and backward family. Kudos to her for standing up for women and working for change.
