Have you struggled to reconcile God's vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker's calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills?

And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.… (more)

Epigraph
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. (Proverbs 31:10)
Dedication
First words
[Preface] In the 1970's, the pro-feminist bestseller "Stepford Wives" turned the traditional housewife into a mindless, husband-pleasing, yes-woman who was literally heartless - because, come to find out, she was actually a robot.
With a mixture of guilt and irritation, Carolyn looked up from the book that had consumed her afternoon.
