The Woman who was Chesterton fed my heart and mind in a way I didn’t expect.
Frances Chesterton wasn’t famous. She didn’t have a highly successful career in the traditional sense.
This book is great because it tells the story of a woman who was faithful in the mundane, repetitive tasks of life. She married G. K. Chesterton, a man who became famous. She lived in his shadow, and she was fine with that. She even enjoyed it. She found it fulfilling to do what her husband needed.
This is the type of book I want to read. My life is normal. I’m not famous. I don’t lead a glamorous life, and chances are I never will. I like to read about women like me. Women who care for their families with faithfulness even when it’s hard.
Frances Chesterton served God even when it was hard and when her life took turns she didn’t expect (or even want). She worked hard taking care of her husband, helping him to manage his busy life, and serving her extended family. In the midst of all that business, she also found time to write poetry and plays. She is a woman who did what was right even when it wasn’t easy.
“[Frances]...quietly carried the cross within the context of her own life, through the duties of the married state...And, as an enduring example to married woman, she did so through the very basic, repetitive duties of her state in life.”
