nmclaury 's review for:

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

4.0

---

Read this as part of a woman’s bible study and it was my first introduction to anything by RHE. I finished the book w tears in my eyes remembering her death within the past year and mourning her in a different way now that I felt like I “knew” her. The premise of the book was interesting, and I appreciate the way she approached controversial topics with an open mind and a desire to learn. She summed it up best in her book saying “womanhood cannot be defined by rigid roles-roles shift and change. Roles don’t define us-our character does!”....she was clearly a woman of character and I credit this book for introducing me to the idea of “Eshet chayil” (women of valor)
