In June, 1889, C.S. Stockholm sent a few questions to the editors of the Theosophical Journal ''Lucifer''. One of them was about the existence of Women Adepts:
#REDIRECT [[Adepts#Women Adepts]]
 
Has any woman ever attained to Adeptship proper? Will her intellectual and spiritual nature and gifts permit it, even while supposing that her physical nature might endure the hardships therefrom indispensable?
 
To this, [[H.P. Blavatsky]] answered:
 
Woman has as good a chance as any man has to reach high Adeptship. Why she does not succeed in this direction in Europe is simply due to her early education and the social prejudice which causes her to be regarded as inferior to man. This prejudice, amounting to a curse in Christian lands, was mainly derived from the Jewish Bible, and man has profited by it. (CW XI, 301)
