This book exposes the error of such thinking and offers hope for true freedom when we revisit the place of identity and purpose according to God's original intent. This is a penetrating work as the author takes us to find our true identity and security in the Father and fulfill our purpose in Him, dispelling the notion that we must achieve status and independence through our own striving. The author also deals with our male counterpart, who can learn to trust us when we are truly submitted to God's order of authority. The woman can win his affection and respect by appealing to his highest virtues rather than calling attention to her physical attributes and becoming a rival, threatening his position and peace or an object or plaything.
The author argues that submission is never to be viewed as inequality and points out how Jesus was equal to God but submitted to the will of the Father in all things (Philippians 2). In the chapter "The Power of Influence," the author shows how a woman can use her influence for good or evil and may resort to manipulation, seduction, and control to gain her objectives. Two negative stereotypes of woman are presented: the seductress and the contentious woman. These stereotypes are offset by "The Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31 as the culmination of God's ideal for a woman. The narrative uses ample illustrations from the bible of different categories of women of influence, but in the final chapter, the author specifically highlights women who are considered inferior or downright despised. It shows God's elevation of them by entrusting them with critical revelation.
