In Max Frisch's "Homo Faber," the character Hanna expresses a deep-seated belief that the persistent male-centric view of the divine perpetuates the suffering and subjugation of women. She suggests that as long as God is depicted as a singular male figure, women will be relegated to a secondary status in society, living lives fraught with hardship and oppression despite their external appearances or achievements.

This commentary reflects a broader critique of patriarchal structures that define both spiritual and societal norms. Hanna's perspective highlights the need for a re-evaluation of these structures to foster true equality and liberation for women, challenging the idea that mere changes in appearance or societal roles can rectify deeper existential inequalities.
