Elliot's writing is lovely. Occasionally her arguments are simplistic, but although I personally struggle to accept the "traditional, conservative" Christian understanding of gender roles, I nevertheless find Elliot to be full of wisdom and truth. She may rub my feminist tendencies the wrong way, but she provides such a worthy text for wrestling with.

I was unable to finish this book after about 75%, and I cannot remember the last time that happened to me. I am in a season of life where I'm enjoying taking recommendations and reading a lot of things I would not have normally picked for myself. So I've purposely been pressing on through things and giving them the benefit of the doubt, gleaning the good and leaving the bad. If you are a woman who is married with children, staying at home with those children, and are looking for some

Fairly narrow in scope as Elliot wrote this collection as a set of letters to her daughter when the latter was getting married. As such, most of the essays discuss womanhood in terms of the wife/mother relationship. Certain parts definitely feel dated (Elliot's citing of a statistic that 90% of women marry before 21, for example, as well as her tendency to set up "feminism" as a monolithic entity.

"In order to learn what it means to be a woman, we must start with the One who made her.""Every creature of God is given something that could be called an inconvenience, I suppose, depending on one's perspective.  The elephant and the mouse might each complain about his size, the turtle about his shell, the bird about the weight of his wings. ...  The special gift and ability of each creature defines its special limitations.  And as the bird easily comes to terms with the necessity of bearing

"We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman." -Elisabeth Elliot; Let Me Be a WomanThis was the most beautiful and encouraging book I've read in a long time. Elisabeth Elliot writes with eloquence and wisdom and her words constantly reflect Christ and the Scriptures. Reading this book made me rejoice even more that God created me to be a woman! It made me thankful

This is truly such a good book! It came to me to start reading it at the right time really, almost providentially I think, especially because in my tentative study of literature and culture I find so much feminism and crude defiance of the traditional, God-ordained callings of men and woman in life, marriage and the home, and this book was truly a refreshing draft of water, an uplifting and challenging reminder of the goodness and glorious beauty of God's perfect Design. It was made especially
