Little-known fact:
The first thinker to clearly articulate a third alternative between gender unity (Plato) and gender polarity (Aristotle) was the 12th-century abbess, mystic, theologian, composer, and physician Saint Hildegard of Bingen. She, according to Allen, is the “foundress” of gender complementarity. Like Aristotle, Hildegard links man and woman with each of the four elements, but her associations are different and evoke new values.
