Other reviews led me to believe that this book is a good study of women for all women, if not everyone. I asked for this book for Christmas to lead a high school girls' bible study at the urban community center in which I work. I am a missionary, and the bible study is made up of 14-18 year-olds ranging from Agnostic to Catholic to Scientologist, but all willing to learn. This book has offered me no valuable information in this setting, outside of that which I could have found online for free. I've been using it to see which woman to study next, and to ballpark where in the bible she could be found, but the focus of each study of the women and most of the questions are clearly geared toward middle-aged, married women with children. This book continues the sad stereotypes that all that matters to women is having babies and wearing jewelry, and that's all that should matter to them.Each chapter gives the name of the woman being studied, the meaning of her name (if she has one), the "key scriptures" in which she can be found (for the purposes of the focuses of the study, not ALL of the chapters and verses that actually talk about her), an excerpt of the key scriptures (presumably to read out loud in a group), a half to 3/4 page summary of "her life and times", a small paragraph filling up the rest of that page discussing how it should apply to our lives, and then 2 pages of questions (of which, only 3-4 out of 15-20 are even a little valuable to my situation).
