Theos-Talk Archives (February 2004 Message tt00154)

It is not that there are no female adepts. T Subba Row
has dealt with this topic in one of his essays
appearing in the book Esoteric Writings. The women
adepts are not involved in 'public work' in the
meaning of the term we use today. But they are very
much involved in service to the betterment of
humanity.
