Well, we're almost done now! Man, this has been exhausting – and fun!
In the last chapter, we talked about a "BRAVE woman" and a "wimpy woman." In this chapter, "Femininity Worth Fighting For," Kristen and Bethany start off with the stories of two women: Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Meyers had been a champion swing dancer. She had traveled all over the country to compete, and she proudly displayed her trophies around her home. However, she had put her family on hold while she was competing. Now, as she was in her old age, her family was not there to take care of her. Mrs. Harris was just your average, everyday wife, and yet she impacted so many lives. She mentored hundreds of younger women. We often think that we have to do something big in order to leave an impact, but Mrs. Harris was just an average person, who, by living out their faith, left behind a legacy that will last for generations to come. The point is, you don't have to do huge things to make an impact. Just being there for a friend in a dark time or mentoring a younger woman can leave a lasting legacy. Just living out your life for God can change someone's life. It’s amazing how when one woman surrenders to God and accepts her part in His big plan, how much change can happen. And you can start your legacy today! In any season of life, at any age, whether you're single, married, a mother, a grandmother, ANYONE! Now, when times get tough, you may feel tempted to give into counterfeit femininity. That's why we need a sisterhood! When things get messy, we need to have each other's backs as Christian girls and women. We need to bond together! It's a beautiful thing to see women empowering each other. Well, this has been so much fun! Hope you guys enjoyed this book review series! And if you haven't done so already, PLEASE READ THE BOOK! It's such a great book, and it's empowered and inspired me.

Wow, this 5-part book review is taking longer than I thought! Don't worry, we're almost there. Here we go: Girl Defined Book Review - Part 4 – Choosing to Become a Girl Defined by God.
We've learned all about God's design for femininity, but it's nothing without action. Kristen and Bethany write that "Biblical knowledge without application is useless." With all this new information about God's design for womanhood, we should be super empowered, right? Well, this is also a lot to take in. It's great information and all, but it all looks super hard! It's true, applying God's truth to your life isn't easy. Kristen and Bethany talk about the characteristics of a wimpy woman:
