davita_d 's review for:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
by Rachel Held Evans
Reading this book was like jumping in some kind of weird time machine. I love RHE, and her voice has been so critical to my own process of grappling with faith & calling & feminism. So, like four or five years ago, this might have spoken to me because it is very much classic RHE with her trademark humour and intellect. Still, I didn’t fully love it where I am now. It leans too heavy on respectability politics when it comes to feminism and centres its discussion of womanhood within the paradigm of heteronormative marriage. Since this is part spiritual memoir, RHE’s experience grounding her story is obviously a function of genre. Still, I find myself wanting to stretch and to push Christian womanhood past just being an egalitarian wife.
