Eve & the Gryphon
From the preface:
'My main concern is not with the facts of married life, but with the theology that lies behind them. I have been concerned to describe what, as it seems to me, woman ought to be trying to do -- in other words I have attempted to describe the ideal. In so far as man comes in less as he ought to be than as he usually is -- not the ideal but the real.'

An interesting look into the vocation of the woman. He looks in part to Mary, but also to St. Catherine of Siena, and even Dante's Beatrice to show the vocation of the woman to leadership in love. Even if you don't agree, it is a wonderful read, and his warnings of where the world was headed are spot on.
