Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity by Rebekah Merkle

Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity by Rebekah Merkle

The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for Prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women -- who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history -- need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way -- whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun -- Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Rebekah Merkle has tried her hand at a variety of jobs, from owning her own clothing line to designing fabrics to becoming a full-time high school humanities teacher (which is appropriate given that she was a student guinea pig in some of the country's first classical Christian classes). Rebekah is the author of Eve in Exile, a biting critique of current feminism, but her biggest achievement is her crew of five crazy, funny, high-speed teenage children, and her favorite role is that of wife to her equally outrageous, hilarious, and high-speed husband Ben Merkle.
