Feminine Genius : The Best Woman

"Changing attitudes in Britain Society towards women was the major reason why some women received the vote in 1918". How accurate is this view?

While reading The Hiding Place, I was frequently inspired by the power and insight behind Corrie ten Boom’s words. However, two of her statements particularly stood out to me. The first was when she had said “Some knowledge is too heavy... you cannot bear it...your father will carry it until you are able.” (ten Boom 175) This phrase is so meaningful because it was a lesson she had learned from her own father when she was young, but now she uses it in her own teaching and relates it to her heavenly father as well. The second quote that stood out to me was when she had said “His will is our hiding place. Lord Jesus, keep me in Your will.” (ten Boom 234) This statement refers to Corrie’s realization of how everything had happened for a reason. This was her protection or “hiding place” through the horrors of the concentration camp and her personal losses. I found these two quotes to be the most perceptive phrases of Corrie’s that spoke to me the most.

Nathan Drum is the type of person everybody should strive to be, and although he stumbles, he gets back up again soon after. Nathan reacts to Ariel’s death the calmest of the family members. Yet we hear him ask, “Why Ariel? Why not me? The sins are mine. Why Punish her? Or Ruth?” (191). Even when faced with the death of a loved one, he does not question his faith. He may ask why God did something as bad as taking his only daughter instead of himself, the one that committed the crimes of war, but will not denounce God. Nathan’s faith that everything is going to be alright in the end is incredible to me. The Sunday after Ariel’s death shows just how incredible God’s power is. Now even though Nathan did not give a sermon at every church, it took a lot of guts and immense trust for him to preach in one of these churches. After having the darkest moment in his life, he comes out and gives one of the best sermons I have ever seen.

Despite their efforts, the ten Boom family was captured and taken to concentration camps, although the Jews in the house were not found. Casper, Corrie’s father, died ten days later, and Nollie was released eventually, but Betsie and Corrie stayed imprisoned. Unfortunately, they were subjected to horrific conditions, and they witnessed the deaths of many innocent people. For many people, the concentration camp would have been the end of their work, but for Corrie and Betsie the months they spent in Ravensbrück became "their finest hour." Corrie described how she struggled with and overcame the hate that she had for the man who betrayed her family. Holding secret worship services, Corrie and Betsie were able to comfort the inmates and share the love of Christ. Although Betsie eventually died of sickness, Corrie was able to continue her legacy within the concentration camps and beyond, in her ministry.

According to Corrie & Betsie Ten Boom, life was a faith-building experience. Those two women were faced with one of the toughest experiences of their lives. Each day, Corrie and Betsie had to persuade each other that everything was going to be okay, once they were free from the “hell”, or the concentration camp they were placed in. And, yet, Corrie and Betsie somehow managed to keep in mind that God was with them.

A Dutch woman, well-known as Betsie Ten Boom the daughter of a watchmaker, who is frail because anime and persecution but enjoys making every place she goes more homely and warm, has the faith, the serenity, and the complete conviction that the Lord is always there in every circumstance. This faith takes Betsie and her sister through the hardships they endure in the prisons and concentration camps where they are incarcerated. While her sister tends to pray for their needs, Betsie prays for their enemies, whom she sees through God’s eyes the guards, everyone who mistreats them, even thanking God for the fleas in their bunks. Her chestnut hair and elegant figure make her very graceful, but her kindness,

Last but not least the third reason Corrie should have hidden the helpless, desperate, and terrified Jews was because if the Nazi found them and sent them off to a concentration camp the ten Booms could bring hope to other prisoners. Because the ten Booms loved God they could bring the gospel to doubting prisoners. Corrie could deliver the much needed love into the concentration camps. The ten Boom could bring the comfort of a loving and caring God to the prisoners.

Does accepting one’s femininity mean having to put on a dress and wear makeup? Does expressing one’s femininity mean having to get married, have babies and looking after the children and their husbands at home? The women today can be so much more without losing their feminism. There was a time when men are to hunt and gather food while women stayed at home and cooked and give birth and look after the children. Nowadays, women are as educated as the men and are able to hold any position that had been reserved for men. Women today are politicians, leaders of countries, professionals and even combat soldiers. Thus, they have proven that they are equal to any tasks. The only reason why they are lacking is probably because of social stereotyping. This is the reason why it is particularly important to empower femininity.

The Feminine Mystique is a first person narrative about the struggles of feminism. It highlights the problems of women in the 1950s to the 1960s and challenges gender roles. The book includes several first person interviews and discusses the Second Wave of feminism. It introduces the idea of the sexulization of women being used in consumerism and the lack of sexual education in school during the time. The Feminine Mystique is a useful resource because it is considered the groundbreaking book about feminism and lists issues that women have had to deal with from the 1960s until now. The book could be used to argue the struggles that women have faced and continue to face.

Despite the circumstances, Corrie was a visionary. She saw people in need and she drew a line in the sand. There was no suit of armor and no cape, just Corrie, as she seemingly echoed the words of Isaiah, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8, New International Version [NIV]).

Characters like Father and Betsie, are very faithful to God. They put their trust in God and they trusted him in every situation. Father is a very loving and caring person. His actions are very inspiring to his daughters and the people around him. He talks and connects with many people in the town, especially Jewish Families. He was arrested and was warned not to help anyone again, but he responded back saying he will open his door and help anyone who will appear at his door for help. This shows that he had faith in God, because he knew helping the Jews will be very risky and dangerous for him, but he did it because he knew that God is on his side. He knew that God will be with him, providing him with what they need,
