| Zusammenfassung: | This essay will examine the ways in which the best-selling female evangelical authors from the 1970s negotiated the challenges of marriage in the "real world," where Biblical injunction meets practical life experience and women must sometimes confront confusion, disappointment, and pain. We will focus on the non-fiction titles from the Christian News Service's "National Religious Bestsellers" (NRB) lists that directly address issues of femininity, marriage and family life. These books, which combine practical advice with personal narrative, emphasize what authors consider to be the particular experiences of womanhood. |
