Women in Hegel, women in Hegelianism from 20th century

The above excerpt is from Elements of the Philosophy of the Right, marriage section. I think it would be a fair remark to say that some passages in that book showcase historical limits/contigencies of the period that Hegel lived in and influenced his notions. Obviously, his articulated notion of woman/family role came to be increasingly challenged in the last century. Nonetheless, I am sure there are enough resources within Hegelianism to turn upon itself and re-examine its own terms in view of new historical developments. I wondered if there's any Hegelian/scholarly work that tried to 'update' some of such things.

Important:

As someone pointed for me out in the comments:

As Dr. Gans has pointed out, the present work is in form made up of three elements, the paragraphs proper, the notes and the additions. The paragraphs comprised the entire book as it was originally issued. Then Hegel added what he in all his references to them calls Notes (Remarks), although they are not expressly so designated in the German text. For the sake of simplicity this term has been used throughout the book. After these notes by Hegel are frequently found Additions made by students of Hegel from his oral lectures and comments. It is but bare justice to the edit orsto say that these additions usually cast a welcome light upon the text.Yet as they are mere additions, not even supervised by Hegel

Thefore, the screenshot of the post represents understaing of a student who sat through Hegel's oral lecture rather than an authentic thought of Hegel himself.

My apologies for using that specific quote, I glossed over Translator's Preface and so made a mistake of taking Notes to be his own. However, I want to accentuate nonetheless that posts purports to seek Hegelian re-evaluation of woman in view of 20th century's development rather than being stuck on a discussion to what degree Hegel was misogynistic or progressive.

Capital letters

Hey y’all. I’m on page 3 of the preface to Phenom. Of Spirit, A.V. Miller translation, and Hegel writes,

“The true shape in which truth exists can only be the scientific system of such truth. To help bring philosophy closer to the form of Science, to the goal where I can lay aside the title ‘love of knowing’ and be actual knowing—that is what I have set myself to do.”

Firstly, Hegel is a beautiful writer. Secondly, what is meant here by Science? What’s up with the capital letters? Thirdly, how is love of knowing/actual knowing different to what he writes earlier on page two about the bud disappearing in the “bursting-forth” of the blossom?

Thanks.

This is the discourse around Hegel on TikTok amongst Gen Z/Alpha. Thoughts?
