Neuffer will read from her book and answer questions on Thursday at Auntie’s Bookstore. Julie Neuffer, an American history professor at Eastern Washington University, has published “Helen Andelin and the Fascinating Womanhood Movement” (University of Utah Press, $19.95), about Andelin and her antifeminist movement. Her first book sold more than 2 million copies. The Fascinating Womanhood Movement, founded in 1961 by Helen Andelin, taught that women should submit to their husbands’ will, that women should not work outside the home, and that women should maintain a feminine appearance, among other tenets. I couldn’t recommend Mrs.In the 1960s, as the feminist movement was on the rise, a separate women’s movement also gained traction by preaching a wholly different message. If you were to read this book, and put its tenants into practice, I guarantee that you will reap the benefits and joys your heart desires. Since first coming into contact with “Fascinating Womanhood,” I have become a new woman! One who’s more confident in myself, fulfilled, and radiating with happiness! I have also gone from being single to (soon after reading the book), engaged, and am now a blushing bride o f 3 months! Ladies: Fascinating Womanhood works! This book has changed my life, and it will change yours, too, if only you are willing to try. Fascinating Womanhood transcends the barriers of time, nationality, and religion (although it is based upon Christianity). The teachings of Fascinating Womanhood may seem "old fashioned" to some, but they are in fact timeless truths. Andelin is well-read and very skillful at sharing her knowledge with others. I accepted her copy with a mixed feeling of skepticism and intrigue, but once I opened up the book and began to read, I couldn't put it down! Mrs.
#When was fascinating womanhood written full
Read full reviewĪ dear lady friend gave me this book last summer. Note: I bought this book on ebay because I would never buy a new issue of it.
That's how my mother has lost all her past copies-she's given them away to people who find it as idiotic as we do. In fact, it's really popular with women I know who have escaped abusive relationships, because it reminds them of how niave and stupid they were. Me? I'm going to keep reading this book whenever I need a good laugh. If you are willing to be completely subservient, bending to your husband's every whim, then by all means, spend your money and take this book seriously. Tell him what wonderful qualities he has, and if he doesn't have any, MAKE THEM UP!! The things they suggest are stamping your foot and shaking your curls when you're angry at your husband. *sighs* (Note: I know this isn't what Mormons believe-but this is the image they are putting out by endorsing this book) This book was written by members of the LDS-Mormons-and if this is how they think women should behave. And we use it as a source of entertainment. My mother and I have gone through multiple copies of this book-because you ca open it up to any given page and find absolutely asinine statements. You will find that there is great character in the man you've married, you just need to coax him out. It is a suggested read, if not to follow completely, then to at least get a deeper examination of the needs of a man in marriage, and experiment for yourself. He was like a diamond in the rough, all I needed to do was polish. I've seen him become the ma n I had always dreamed of once I started treating him that way. He has shown me more affection, dedication, and complete commitment than when we were first married. Now I understand what it really means to be loved by my man. Once I read this book I realized marriage asks more than my convenience. I used to do many things without thinking of how it affected my husband, and our love was slowly growing cold.
While at first it may humble the wife, in the end it really works reverse-psychology on the husband.Īs a christian, I took use of these biblical views to try to bring my dull marriage back to life. The teachings, biblically based, when put to use sincerely, work wonders in a marriage. While this book may have its enemies due to "dated" view of a woman's role in the home, it's values ring true.
