About this listen

Fresh out of college, hating her job, and searching for meaning, Meghan Tschanz left everything to join a mission trip around the globe, and quickly witnessed oppression experienced by women that she never thought possible.

Over the next several years, she befriended women around the globe who had survived sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, and violence so extreme Meghan wondered at the women's survival. Through listening to their stories, Meghan started to notice a pattern - one that pointed to systems of injustice that harmed and held women back - systems, Meghan realized, she was often complicit in.

She was changed.

Returning to the United States, Meghan became keenly aware of how the teachings and messaging surrounding women in her own upbringing were part of the problem. In the process, she began to find her voice, one that spoke out against injustice and moved her into tension with her Christian community.

Women Rising is Meghan Tschanz's personal journey of transformation. But it's also a Christian blueprint for anyone wanting to confront injustice against women while pointing to a biblical standard for gender equality.

A beautiful and hard story of learning and growing

In this heart squeezing memoir of traveling the world as a missionary, Meghan realizes that the problem is that women, like herself, are often silenced and made to feel small inside the American church.

Meghan shares how she is unlearning white saviorism and learning to listen. She wants to be part of the fight for good; dismantling systems of oppression by speaking up against patriarchy in the Church with the strong voice that God gave her.

Engaging story, important narrative

Through her own experiences working in the church, and with trafficked women all over the world, Tschanz educates, advocates, illuminates, and challenges. Though this would be interesting and informative regardless of religious affiliation, it’s so needed in evangelical circles. Patriarchy and gender roles feed and perpetuate rape culture and sex trafficking. If the church believes God loves women, it’s time to engage honestly with what purity culture has done.

A Refreshing View of Feminism

What a wonderful and insightful book on what feminism and women's roles actual mean within the confines of Christianity. Meghan does a great job of story telling while backing up her findings with expert facts and narratives. She provides practical and challenging ways to look at gender roles differently.
