‘I believe this is actually what true biblical femininity looks like’

In response to a previous Woman Alive article on biblical femininity, Sally Hope shares where she believes the writer got it wrong, and why.

It is over ten years since I left my abusive husband and in that time I have become a Domestic Abuse Recovery Worker.  On January 16th, Megan Madden wrote in Woman Alive “I believe all women are called to motherhood. To embrace femininity and live out a nurturing spirit, gentleness, receptivity; to be a helpmate to her husband, and to receive the heart of others well.” She goes on to encourage wives to be obedient to their husbands, arguing that Mary was obedient to Joseph and to cite Proverbs 31 as evidence that women are called to be homemakers.
