Wife. Mother of five. Writer. Roman Catholic. PhD in philosophy.

Carrie Gress has the perfect background to write this book. Her training in philosophy and her commitment to womanhood and motherhood are put to great use.

This book is not long (under 200 pages), but the endnotes showcase the serious research that went into the writing.

Gress does a terrific job of describing the origins of modern feminism. It is a truly sordid story.

Since Gress writes as a committed Catholic Christian (I am a small c catholic Christian) her appreciation and explanation of the body’s importance is a real strength. Bible-believing Christians have much to learn about the importance of making arguments from natural law, though there are plenty of Roman Catholics who could also use a refresher course. Remember Clarence Thomas trying to explain natural law to his fellow Roman Catholic, Joe Biden?!

So, Protestants may be surprised to find that there is hardly any Scripture in Gress’s book, but that should not keep them from reading this terrific book.

Highly recommended!
