The Red Tent is a beautiful read for anyone looking to be crushed but also uplifted. Despite not being a woman, I have learnt so much about womanhood from this book. Specifically,  I now have a deeper understanding of how their stories have been oppressed throughout history. 
I hope one day to feel the contentment she found.

This book made me feel holiness in womanhood like nothing else I've ever experienced. It brought the Old Testament into a new light for me and made me cherish the untold stories of women held within.
