Synopsis

Many Christian women wouldn’t identify themselves as “feminists.” However, according to Courtney Reissig, we’ve all been influenced by the feminist movement in profound ways, unconsciously reflecting our culture’s notions about what it means to be a woman. Helping readers navigate a wise path in the midst of a confused world, this book chronicles the journey of a wife, mom, and successful writer as she recounts her journey from “accidental feminism” to a biblical view of womanhood. Filled with wise insights related to relationships, body image, and women’s roles in the home and the church, this thought-provoking book will help Christian women carefully consider these important issues.

So, you're looking at this title wondering, "Did she accidentally fall into being a feminist?" "Did she wake up and discover she is a feminist and needs out?" The title is ambiguous, so allow me; Courtney Reissig is a "complimentarian," as opposed to "egalitarian." So that's the premise for the book......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on December 22, 2020

I'm not going to write all of my thoughts down here because I have no doubt Courtney Reissig and I are going to spend eternity together and I don't want to make it awkward. There are many criticisms already on this review page that I agree with so there's no reason to spell them all out again. This......more
