About this listen

The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end.

Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

This book made clear just how far we have strayed from what is important to our communities...a strong & stable home.

Terrific. Probably the best overview of Biblical womanhood that I've heard, and also some of the most thorough criticism of feminism from a Biblical worldview. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to think deeply about Biblical womanhood and to not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by renewing their minds to be more like Christ.

Outstanding

An excellent listen/read for any woman seeking to find empowerment and contentment in her God-given design and role, articulated and approached with intelligence and scholarship as well as spiritual discernment. Thoroughly encouraged by this book.

I could have said "worth the listen," however in light of the rare truth explored by Rebekah in this brave book I encourage the listener to hear this book right through to the end.

Just listen.

Merkle was very unapologetic about her views on all topics and it was refreshing.

Also a very great analysis of 1 Corinthians 11.
