empowering men and women to speak out for Women's Equality
Disclaimer
Books, websites, and blogs are listed on this website to help you become familiar
with the Equality for Women issue.
I have not read all these books, nor have I read every word on these websites or
blogs. There is some information on these sites and in these books that I believe
can help you acquire a better understanding of gender equality.
Blogs and websites can change as the writers are constantly updating them, or even
dropping off the scene altogether. They are wholly responsible for their own
material. I cannot keep up with all they write, and all of their views, and certainly
would not be expected to agree with everything on their site.
This is what I look for in a book, a website, and a blog:
I am a Southern Baptist woman who has become convinced that we as a group of
believers have distorted the position of women to the point of being ridiculous. We
have used literal English interpretations of the scriptures to keep women from
serving in our Baptist churches fully as God calls them. We have used the Book that
teaches love, to deny women their freedom in Christ.
Won’t you join women everywhere in speaking out for Equality for
Women in our churches?

This is what I look for in a book, a website, and a blog:
- It has Christ as its center.
- The Egalitarian view dominates over the complementary view of women as
equals. - There is a reasonable expectation that the Egalitarian view is treated fairly in
all materials.
