===Gnostic traits in [[Feminism]]===
Feminist leader [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]] welcomed [[Darwinism]] as a means to undermine what she perceived as biblically based arguments for the subordination of woman. Through biblical reinterpretation and [[radicalism|radical]] rhetoric designed to remove all "[[theology|theological]] support" for "women's 'natural' inferiority," she asserted, in her 1895 radical text ''The Woman's Bible'', that ''"the real difficulty in woman's case"'' is that the whole foundation of the [[Christianity]] ''"rests on her temptation and [[Fall of Man|man's fall]]."'' In her solution she proposed so construct ''"a more rational religion for the nineteenth century"'' that would ''"exonerate the snake"'' and ''"emancipate the woman."'' This should be possible in her view if humankind would accept the [[Evolution|Darwinian theory]] which is based on idea that the race has been a gradual growth from the lower to a higher form of life, and consider the story of the fall to be a mere [[myth]].<ref name="Larson">{{cite book
