Peter Bright - Saint Austell

I have begun a series of prints called “Saint Austell” –  from the  6th century – Confessor and disciple of St. Newman of Cornwall, England. Modern scholars believe that Austell was a woman named Hoystill, a daughter of Brychan of Wales. Feastday: June 28.

Christianity with its unchangeable principles, and without misjudging the justifiable demands of the age, undertakes to guide the woman movement also into the right path. The life-task of woman is a double one.

• As an individual woman has the high destiny obligatory upon every human being of acquiring moral perfection.
• As a member of the human race woman is called in union with man to represent humanity and to develop it on all sides.
