The Woman's Assuming the Headship.

Now we must see the inward cause of man's first fall. The inward cause of man's fall was the woman's assuming the headship Although she had a husband, she nonetheless stood on her own. The significance of the woman is that she represents man before God. Isaiah 54:5 says, "For thy Maker is thine husband." God is the unique, universal man. Whether we are males or females we are all a part of His wife. Man's position is not the position of the husband; it is the position of a wife. God is our husband. The headship is with God, not with us, not even with the men.
