why a woman?

Before I say anything this post is not meant to be
sexist or offensive - please view it objectively and
any one that cannot do so stop reading now.



I was meditating last night about HPB the woman. Not
HPB the Russian, HPB the theosophist, nor HPB the
occultist, but HPB the woman. On meditating it struck
me how peculiar it is that a woman would bring forth
such an important piece of knowledge. Take a look at
all the other spiritual/philosophical gurus of past
ages and they are all men....Moses, Abraham, Jesus,
Buddha, Mohammad, Plato, Pythagoras, etc etc. Yes you
can say that these were men because of the age they
lived in; women have only been given more freedom in
the contemporary age. But HPB did not live in such a
liberal era. Women, in our so called democracies, did
not even have the vote. Why then, of all the people on
Earth, did HPB bring us the Secret Doctrine? Why did
the Mahatmas choose to communicate with her? Has the
SD had more effect on humanity because it was
delivered by a woman? Would we be still studying the
SD if, say, WQJ delivered it instead of HPB?
