The Return of Femininity and Respect
Columnized in Fancy That | Discussion with 16 Comments »
“The death of feminism and liberality; the return of femininity and respect.”
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.
We have enough greed; we need more goodness.
We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity; we need more purity.
-Margaret Nadauld
Amen, Amen, Amen! What a wonderful post! I’m striving to be that virtuous woman described in this delightful post. May I post it on my blog with a link back to this one?
Thanks so much for sharing this wisdom with us!
Blessings,
Rebekah

Wow! How very true! May I publish this in THE BEACON, my not for profit magazine for Christian girls. It would be very helpful for “My little flock” !

This is a wonderful poem-post thingy. I love the way you wrote it. We truly do need some more feminine characteristics in today’s women. We have enough rough, tough and gruff women as it is.
What a wonderful encouragement to all who read this is I am sure.
Love,
Rachel

What an absolutely wonderful post. It blessed me to read this Shabbat morning, as I sit here starting my day with Yahweh (God). Thankyou.

That fine, …just thought I’d mention that the first line was my statement not part of the original quote.
All the best! :-)

An excellent line at that. ; ) I quoted it so it would be a part from the rest.

I just thought I’d let you know that I put a link to this post on my ‘Blogoversary Afterparty!’ post on Living Water!

I’m glad to see that mainstream Christian girls enjoy the words of LDS Christian leaders. As followers of Christ, we all embrace and hope to spread the understanding of His will for women. Thank you for posting these words that made such a huge impact on me for a new generation of Christians of whatever persuasion.
Kates last blog post..
