Wonder Women; Navigating the Challenges of Motherhood,
Career, and Identity by Kate Harris and Re/Frame by Andy Crouch is a book in
the Frames series that looks at different areas of concern and stress in
Christians and people’s lives. Other
books include 20 and somethings, Becoming Home (adoption, fostering, etc.), The
Hyperlinked Life, and Schools in Crisis.
Wonder Women takes a look at the many roles women, with and
without children, face in today’s society. This book looks at many survey
statistics into how women prioritize, spend their time, and feel achievement or
inadequacy in many areas of their lives. Then author Kate Harris uses these statistics
to explain how our lives are multifaceted.
This book does not offer steps in how to improve life or an ultimate way
to fix it. This book is just encouragement
saying “I know. I understand.” Then she explains how each woman needs to find
satisfaction in their current life situation and make the best of it for the
glory of Christ. Priorities will
change. You are never really able to
compartmentalize work and home and family so why try. It’s okay to let all of your facets be who
you are all the time.
All in all I really enjoyed this book. It came to me at a great time (I’m about to
start back to work after 8 weeks of maternity leave). I enjoyed the affirmation that is okay for
women to have many hates and for them to all coincide in my life.
