I can’t tell you how glad I was to finally finish this book! I had intended to get through it in January but nope, didn’t happen! However, it was great read and I’m glad I stuck through it.

I’m going to be real and say that I have been trying to review this book for the past few weeks and I can’t seem to get it together! My copy of this book is filled with dozens of different colored sticky tabs marking all the places I wanted to refer back to when working on my review. Just looking at them makes me dizzy.

So I’ve decided not to make any comments except the following:

This book is totally worth reading.
Shalit’s exploration of the problem of immodesty in our society and the effects and repercussions of certain feminist ideology is thorough and well expressed.
It was rather academic and took me longer than I thought it would.
Deserves a second go through. This time, I’ll have a pen and notebook handy to jot down all the bits I marked with my stickies.

Not very informative, I know. Sorry for being so lame, but I figured any comments were better than no comments at all!

I do plan to revisit this book as I continue my studies on feminism and femininity. I’m glad I bought it and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject!

Ya’ll stay blessed :)

I’m very much a book nerd, as this blog proves, but I’m also very much a girly girl. Not in a high-maintenance kind of way, but in a I-like-dressing up-going-shopping-and-watching-Jane-Austen-flicks kind of way. And I love books on biblical femininity and womanhood. So when I saw this Bible study on biblical womanhood, I couldn’t wait to buy it!

Mary Kassian & Nancy Leigh Demoss team up to teach women about what it means go after what God wants for women. They start at the beginning and talk about God’s purpose for both men and women and why we were created differently and how those specifics are important when it comes to glorifying God. From there, they go on to address how the beautiful framework of womanhood has been attacked by Satan and how cultural and societal lies have been accepted and woven into our thought processes. It was extremely interesting and inspiring and I didn’t want it to end!

What’s also super great about this study, is that there is a companion website where you can visit and watch “table talk” videos for each lesson. Here, authors Mary and Nancy, along with a panel of other women, discuss each chapter and how the lessons have impacted their lives.

This is a great study for women’s groups. I highly, highly recommend it! Married, single, it doesn’t matter. There are so many different ideas and theories about what womanhood is and what femininity means. This study answers a lot of questions about God’s design is for women and how beautiful His plans for us truly are!
