What does it mean to be a woman in any day or culture? What constitutes a good woman in God’s
eyes and are those characteristics accessible to any female? In our culture today, there’s a heavy
emphasis on women being strong and independent, particularly in light of the abuse (especially
sexual) that many women have suffered in the recent past at the hands of men who exhibit the
worst possible behavior males capable of towards women. Can a woman be strong and
independent without losing her femininity, without her beauty being used against her?
