The Resolution for Women by Priscilla Shirer

informative slow-paced

1.75

Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for this book. But here are my thoughts...

• The Bible isn't about gender studies, sexuality, etc. 
• The Bible is written in a patriarchal structure. It doesn't mean it is the 'desired/designed' way of being. 
• The 'definition of womanhood presented in God's word is written through this patriarchal lens.
• There is no acknowledgement of the original text. 
• So it's selfish to be a feminist? I'm not sure she knows what feminism is...
• So to be fulfilled, I need to be with a man, be fruitful and multiply? I must dress a certain way and can't say anything to offend men. God forbid I have a mind of my own. 
• Men are the established leaders, and women art designed to be leaders? 
• "Women have usurped the authority of men." I find this absolutely BS!

Feminism believes in full social, economic, and political equality for women. How is this not also a biblical attitude? While there was some excellent advice, I found the author's views really antiquated. For her, there is only one way to be a woman.
