Taking on topics from pornography and prostitution to female genital mutilation, from womens magazines and marriage to sexual violence, contributors in this collection argue that the kind of liberal feminism currently rising to prominence does little to challenge the status quo.

Women have journeyed through many expressions of femininity, from total submission to men to an overt rejection of classical gender roles and stereotypes. Christian women wrestle with their expressions of femininity even in modern times as feminism is commonly taught and accepted. After all, it was Paul who commanded women to learn in silence and subjection, forbidding them to teach or exert power over men (1 Tim 2:11–12). Yet the same Bible tells us of powerful women like Deborah, a female judge who commanded armies of men and secured the victory of Israel against Sisera (Judg 4). In a society that lauds female independence and challenges gender roles, Christian women must understand and reconcile their identities in Christ. Are men and women really that different? Has God given them different callings, skillsets, and limitations? The answer is “yes,” but it shouldn’t be a “yes” spoken with dejection. God’s design is perfect, and he made women powerful in ways that men can never be powerful. Likewise, he made men powerful in ways that women can never be powerful. The God-given differences between men and women must be recognized and celebrated.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Excerpt from Feminism: Its Fallacies and Follies But while such generous inclusion of foreign move ments, which every American instinctively approves, tends to recommend the home brand of Feminism to his favour, yet it does not clarify his judgment. Other revolts nearer to him concern him more closely. There is a movement of revolt in great cities and smart sets against the barrier of custom which is in terposed between woman and the freedom men enjoy to smoke cigars and cigarettes; a revolt against the custom which requires the woman and not the man to change her name on marriage; which requires a chaperone for girls and young women where no chaperone protects young men. Dr. Mary Walker led a revolt against the custom which permits men, but not women, to wear trousers. Such revolts against the artificial barriers which laws and cus toms have interposed between woman and human freedom are not instinctively approved by Ameri cans, but would come within Mrs. Catt's definition.
