Feel free to discuss and debate among yourselves, however I jwould make one request to all who wish to comment. On this string there may be few who will agree, few who will agree in some parts, and many who may not agree at all, owing to the fact that we live in the 21st centuary, where values and perceptions have changed drastically from the time when this lady first began to teach her Fascinating Womanhood course to women. Only thing is that despite her conservativeness, I found her very close to truth, or rather I should say I agree with most of what she has to say. Still I find her views rather very conservative. Nevertheless, the similarities are way too many. She appears to be a devout Christian, and there are few points from her philosophy which a muslim woman may ought to reject, for her religions commitments. There are many comments on this book and Helen's approach available on the internet, for and against her philosophy. In a recent discussion on the appropriateness in women choosing to work outside their homes, the kind of response I received was quite intersting. Recently came across Helen Andelin's work "Fascinating Womanhood".
