God Gave Us The Right: Conservative Catholic, Evangelical Protestant, and Orthodox Jewish Women Grapple with Feminism

I wanted to understand the differing philosophies of women from these 3 different religious backgrounds. This book does a wonderful, non-judgemental job of presenting their thoughts and conclusions concerning women's role in the home, the workplace and the church.

If you want to hear the VOICES of women in regards to their conservative religious beliefs and their tensions with feminism this is a great book.I really respect that it is full of case studies and interviews that allows women to speak and allow the reader to in turn listen. As a feminists I wish these women did not feel antagonistic towards feminism but also as a feminist I value women's lives, choices, opinions, and voices. These women are important and they speak to the very real tensions that deserve more attention between women who are for and and women who are against feminism.

I purchased this hoping to read something interesting and the author is pretty set in her own beliefs being right and those she is "studying" being wrong. I want to throw this book pretty much every time I pick it up. If you are buying it now and expecting it to be relevant, it is full of research from the 70's and 80's and written in the 90's and truly views conservative women as needing to be fixed. Not worth the angst. Pick a different book.
