Biblical Womanhood Research

Becoming a woman (in the truest, most pure definition of the lot) is a quest rarely tackled by human females of our day. Many take on the impossible (and not to mention, foolish) pursuit of what one could call “feminine masculinity,” or the transfer of male responsibility/power to females.
Why do women these days feel the need to conquer as they do? Because the reality of how crucial the role of true womanhood is is not taught and therefor not understood by most. And why is this? Because society has warped and twisted the “matronly” responsibilities to appear weak, boring and even shameful. The real joys (or what should be joys) of womanhood have become burdensome if seen through the eyes of the world. Burdensome and weak.
But this is not so! The joys (tasks, callings) of womanhood are the most respectable, noble, exciting and fulfilling adventures a woman can embrace. It is a journey, not for the timid, but for the courageous.
How does one approach this journey? One gazes intently into the life-giving Word of God. Here we will find freedom and confidence in our God ordained role as the “fairer sex.” In the pages of the Bible an exquisite picture is painted of “the Woman.” And her role is clearly drawn out. Real examples come to life and God’s love for woman radiates from the text. Woman are considered TREASURES.
WHY, then, would a female not want to be a woman?! This is not the question I seek to answer, however. But rather:
HOW can I be fully what God created me: Woman?
