As a woman in today's society, I found this book so refreshing and so enlightening. No writer has ever approached the subject of feminism so intelligently and with such true divine inspiration. Any man or woman would enjoy reading this and find it full of truth and wisdom. It's especially encouraging for women today-- we who can be so undervalued and disrespected from Coors Light commercials that make us out to be undignified objects' of men's pleasure to groups like NARAL who insist that a mother's dignity is elevated by the ability to choose between herself and her child. Women are dignified, compassionate, strong creatures, and I think John Paul II captures this so eloquently in this apostolic letter.
My daughter had asked for this book as a Christmas or birthday gift. She was pleased when I got it for her; but even more pleased with the content, it's presentation and daily usefulness of readings and meditations. I and several others are waiting for a turn to read it.
This Apostolic Letter is one of many remarkable resources available to anyone wishing to understand seriously the Catholic Church's teaching on the dignity and unique vocation of women.
Broke it down after every section and helped me to understand my femininity. Love, love, love! Read it and then give to all your girlfriends!
