This book takes a hard look at the idea that the Christian god created women to be submissive servants of men, an idea that has always given me the ick. The societal construct of subjugated women has been around for centuries, and the shift to patriarchal societies can be tracked with ease. This type of nonsense has seeped into church doctrine and teachings in all types of religions, but certainly the Christian one. Biblical Womanhood as a concept is not about the teachings of Christianity. Biblical Womanhood is simply a man made idea used to keep women submissive and easy to control.

This book is extremely relevant in the times we are currently living through in the United States (and elsewhere). Men, and brainwashed women, are determined to weaponize their religion to keep women under control. As someone who was raised in an evangelical, conservative household, and as someone who has went through deconstruction, this book is RELEVANT. Being in a partnership with a man, or any other person, is simply that- a partnership. It is not a master/servant relationship, unless those terms are negotiated. This whole thing is disgusting to me, and more of these Bible Belt women need to educate themselves on societal constructs and develop some critical thinking skills. This book is currently available to listen to on Audible Plus with your membership if you do not want to spend the money on a physical copy, and I strongly suggest taking advantage of that. It isn't a terribly long book, and it isn't a terribly long listen. I picked it up simply because it sounded interesting, and I am glad that I did.
