Summary
In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to the enormously successful Seven Men, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas gives us seven captivating portraits of some of history's greatest women, each of whom changed the course of history by following God's call upon their lives-as women.
I really enjoyed 7 Men, but I have mixed feelings about 7 Women. While I found most of the stories enjoyable, some of the women included felt a bit forced. I was expecting to hear about remarkable women like Harriet Tubman and Irena Sendler, but Mother Maria of Paris didn't quite fit the bill for greatness.
The narrator's attempt at a "woman's voice" was commendable, but it came across as somewhat mocking, almost like blackface. It would have been more fitting to have a female narrator for this book.
This audiobook is a delightful exploration of several remarkable women who had a significant impact on the world. Eric's research is meticulous and truly uplifting.
I really liked 'Seven Women: And the Secret of Their Greatness' as it was my first experience with the 7 series. I found the treatments to be quite enjoyable. Each segment lasts about an hour and offers a nice overview of the extraordinary accomplishments of these women.
