For decades, Christians have struggled in the culture wars, losing ground on issues like family, life, and faith. Dr. Carrie Gress examines why pro-life and pro-family efforts often fail, showing how feminism has quietly captured the hearts and minds of women by mimicking aspects of Christianity—its own “commandments,” “virtues,” and rituals make it a powerful cultural force. While Christians focus on issues like abortion and transgenderism, they often miss the larger picture: feminism has shaped the worldview of Western women, appearing virtuous even to many believers. Dr. Gress challenges this perception, revealing feminism’s anti-Christian roots. Drawing on history, psychology, philosophy, and culture, she explains how early feminists opposed traditional Christianity, how feminism has become a quasi-religion, why its focus on women’s autonomy can’t bring true happiness, and how elevating masculine virtues has undervalued women. She explores the consequences of blending faith with feminism and shows that many people’s search for identity reflects a deeper longing for belonging. She also highlights the important role of men and traditional social structures in supporting society. Finally, Dr. Gress offers a vision for reclaiming womanhood apart from feminism, healing the rift between the sexes, restoring the mother-child bond, and putting God back at the center of women’s lives.
