I was waiting to see if anyone might offer another viewpoint. I can’t boil anything down to an essential characteristic. I have similar thoughts to what each of you has said. The greatest glory of true womanhood has been motherhood Selflessness, faith, virtue, vision, and charity So often our sisters comfort others when their own needs are greater than those being comforted So often the service of women seems instinctive Spiritual and sensitive, tender and gentle. It is their nature to give and please othersįull feminine splendor of her righteous womanhood. Innate beauty, charm, decency, and goodnessĪ beautiful and chaste woman is the perfect workmanship of Godīeautiful, none more inspiring than a lovely daughter is the divine adornment of humanity.Ĭapacity to love, spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, quiet strength.
Reading through approximately the first twenty hits, I gleaned a list of descriptors given to women:įemininity. To follow up with my first question, I typed woman, women, and womanhood into the search function on lds.org. My intention is to be more open to new ideas than I sometimes am.
Of course there are physiological differences, but beyond that, what is there really? I do have a few of my own thoughts on this, but this time I’d like to know what others think first. Here is my first question:Īre there any essential or intrinsic qualities of womanhood? If you think there are, what are they? I’d like to kick off my exploration with some dialogue with fellow feminists and women and anyone else who would like to chime in. There is also a wealth of feminist spiritual literature to dig into (thanks for lending me Dance of the Dissident Daughter, Deborah!) My reading list for the year includes Women Who Run with the Wolves, At the Root of This Longing, Embracing Jesus and the Goddess, and The Spiral Staircase. I call myself a feminist, but I think I could be more educated about the histories and current theories of feminism. This year, I am planning to dedicate a significant portion of my reading and personal study time to exploring feminism and spirituality.
