Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement

Not perfect, but Ms Joyce actually does a decent job of handling this. As someone who grew up with a milder form of this, I recognized the conservatism, the sexism, and the justifications for it all. I recognized it in some of my friends and colleagues, certainly in myself–more mildly–when I was in high school. Though, at this point, the book is preaching to the choir, it was still a bit shocking to see how far some people take this evangelical patriarchy, especially when I see how negatively it has later affected my friends. Ms Joyce, I do believe, was kind to most of the woman entrenched in the movement, which, to my view, lends her more credibility. Yes, she's horrified, but she also takes the time to get to know some of these women, why they hold such archaic views–to the point of befriending one. Oh, yes, this was a highly interesting book.
