He became a teacher of rhetoric, was converted to a religious life, and became bishop of Hippo in 395. Saint Augustine's writings were one of the most influential and widely consulted doctrines of his time and even today his works The City Of God and The Confessions are widely read.

Perhaps it was due to his immoral life that was filled with sexual sin that caused Augustine to have a very conservative view on woman. In both The City Of God and The Confessions, there are many different images of women; Augustine believes women should be subordinate (men are to care for and protect a woman) and his ideals of feminine virtue are conservative and religious.
