What Are You Reading?

“what are you reading?”

“its a…online book.”

“You tell me to be a biblical woman. You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak. Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man. I am a biblical woman. I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand. I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head. I am a biblical woman. I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen. I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family. I am a biblical woman. I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price. I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant. I am a biblical woman. I am Rahab, the prostitute. I am Mary, the pregnant teenager. I am Junia, the female apostle. I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor. I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God. You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman? You do not know what a biblical woman is.”

For all the men who have made biblical women out to be nothing but silent property.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

Look at this cutiepie! Reblogging because the money would be spectacular, but mostly because Albert is adorable. 😍
