How Do Women Achieve Perfection?

"Greater is the assurance which the Holy One blessed be He gave to women, more than to me" (Brachos 17A)

Men have more tests to undergo, and more complicated responsibilities. In addition, men are more readily motivated by the desire for glory, whereas "the tranquil women are the trusting daughters" (ibid.) seek no fame and compete with no one. The Jewish wife and mother can more readily achieve her destiny through her home, and she can most successfully fine favor in G-d's sight by cherishing the womanly virtues of humility, patience, peace and trust in G-d's providence. -- Awake, My Glory
