📚 A Homemaker’s Education
A booklist for women rebuilding their worldview — and their homes — on truth.
Here are some of my favorite books related to the topics I write about on A Homemaker’s Manifesto. These are the titles that have helped shape my convictions about faith, womanhood, homemaking, culture, and the deep roots of the postmodern crisis.
