Carolina Girls… in History

An overview of some inspirational women from South Carolina.

Some of my clearest childhood memories relate to the books I read, as I was a voracious reader at a young age. In particular, I remember reading a series of biographies of famous Americans as children. I read every single one my school library owned, and I noticed that only a few of them were… [Read More]

I am Not Damaged Goods: Reflections and Book Review

Review and reflections on Damaged Goods by Dianna E. Anderson #feminism #faith

Post contains Amazon Affiliate links. Read my full disclosure for more details.  I didn’t think anything could influence my personal approach to Christian feminism as much as Sarah Bessey’s Jesus Feminist. That is, until I read Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity by Dianna E. Anderson. I’ve been reading Anderson’s blog for a few years… [Read More]

My Body is Not an Open Bar, and Not All Men are Alcoholics

This metaphor is possibly the most annoying part of #Modesty Culture.

Let me cut straight to the chase. If you earnestly plead with me that good Christian women should just cover up to help their frail, weak, pathetic Christian brothers not to lust, I will still bother to refute your points with as much politeness as I can muster. But if you offer up the ridiculous,… [Read More]

Top 10 Christian Feminists to Read

Just a few of my favorite Christian feminist writers!

Some of my favorite bloggers/writers are Christian feminists. Not all feminists understand my faith, and not all Christians understand even the most basic feminist concept of gender equality. Christian feminists are my people. They get me. They get God. They don’t try to put men and women into a box, and they definitely don’t place… [Read More]

I’m Thankful I’m White, or When Are Blessings Actually Privilege?

Am I blessed, or am I just privileged? A brief look at racism and white privilege in America. #feminism

I know I promised a week of Thanksgiving, and I’ll resume my posts on thankfulness tomorrow. But tonight I want to write about something more important. My American readers are probably aware that last night, the Grand Jury in Ferguson, Missouri chose not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown. I’m… [Read More]

Giving Thanks to God

Thanksgiving shouldn't be the only time we give thanks to God. | Belle Brita

After ten hours on the road, and a wonderful evening with my parents, this is getting written a lot later than planned. I’m celebrating the week of Thanksgiving with a post of every day giving thanks for all the blessings God has given me, even among recent challenges. I couldn’t possibly start a week of… [Read More]
