Christian Women Gather on the Mall and Criticize Feminism

The Washington Post’s Julie Zauzmer reports that Christian women gathered at the National Mall in Washington for a prayer rally on Monday. Zauzmer writes, “Many spoke about their reasons for coming to a women’s prayer rally on a muddy day on the Mall: their desire to bolster women in their God-given roles as wives and mothers, their belief that women’s activism should make outlawing abortions a priority, and their faith in the power of prayer to change the country’s culture.” Christian author Lisa Bevere, who spoke at the rally, said, “For years, the feminists lied to us. They said for us to be powerful as women, we needed to act like men.”
