Counter-Culture Mom
A Jamestown Township woman is trying to help her daughters and their female friends find their identity as females not according to the social moors of their generation, but the truths of the Bible and history. Through the study of scripture and classic literature, they examine the values of past generations when virtue was considered a woman's most admirable quality.The article goes on to say:
Angela Kuncaitis said she launched the Young Maiden's Literary Society in 2002 to "teach girls feminine and godly values, one vintage book at a time."
"We only read classic literature. There are no fast food' books, and we have readers age 4 to 13," she said. Beyond the facts, however, girls learn how other people live, and that people in every age have had to solve problems.
The society meets once a month to discuss the current reading assignment, and according to 12-year-old Abagale Kuncaitis, "read the Bible and talk about how to be a lady." What makes the group different from other clubs or discussion groups is Angela's emphasis on femininity.
Kuncaitis is vocal about her rejection of "radical feminism," which she said has affected the Christian community and home school community as well as society at large. She is attempting instead to teach radical femininity. If some call her old-fashioned, she doesn't mind.
We aren't all called to form a society (though I'd love to see many such groups springing up across the world), but we are all called to do something. "Evil prevails when good men [and women] do nothing." What can you do to confront our humanistic culture for the glory of God? It begins in our own homes and families but let us not stop at that. Let us raise up a banner of righteousness, Godliness, and Truth for all the world to see!
