A fantastic overview of God’s design for femininity. By the end of this book, I was freshly astonished at how God really did think of everything when he created men and women with their distinct roles and giftings, and excited anew to live out my calling as a godly woman. Also, by the end of this, feminism really seems like such a downgrade and scam compared to biblical femininity.
The author pointed out some really interesting things that I’d never really thought about. I think the part that struck me the most was the role of the Industrial Revolution/age of convenience in making homemaking feel “pointless” and “demeaning”, hence a major factor in leading women to desire a career outside the home. It makes so much sense and I had never connected those dots before. There were so many other discussion points that will stick with me, and overall I think this is a book that every Christian woman should read at some point.
