Genesis 2:22
Douay-Rheims
And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
Augustine of Hippo
Scripture says that the woman was made as man's helper so that by spiritual union she might bring forth spiritual offspring, that is, the good works of divine praise, while he rules and she obeys. He is ruled by wisdom; she, by the man. For Christ is the head of the man, and the man is the head of the woman.
