WASHINGTON DC, Aug 16 – Jennifer Strickland’s message in her new book, I Am a Woman: Taking Back Our Name, tells how “men are invading women’s sports and even bathrooms, while schools indoctrinate children in lies about gender fluidity. The assault of insanity on reality took normal women by surprise, but we can’t waste another minute in fighting back.”
In a recent interview with the Association of Mature American Citizens CEO Rebecca Weber on her Better For America podcast revealed that she got into modeling when she was eight years old and by the time she was 17 years old, she was a Ford model and off to Europe. She said that by the time she was 23 years old, she was starving herself and dealing with anorexia.
“I knew that I had gifts and talents and abilities,” Jennifer said, “but I didn’t have a relationship with God and I didn’t really know how to get off that road of modeling. And I had a series of strangers actually reach out to me on the streets in Italy and in Germany and invited me to church and shared Christ with me. And so I left the business and went back to school, got my master’s degree in writing and literature, and decided to write a book to help girls understand the lies that the media feeds them about their identity and their value.”
She went on to note that the Merriam-Webster and Cambridge dictionaries changed the meaning of male and female and man and woman. “And we had a Supreme Court Justice who refused to answer the question, what is a woman? Which is what led me to write my book because I believe that we all need to have a ready answer for that question. It’s beyond chromosomes, it’s beyond the ability to give birth. To be a woman is to be a life-giving agent.”
In fact, Jennifer noted, women’s voices are very powerful. “You see it in the feminist movement that women have the power to shape a nation. And the reason why feminists are not standing up for women’s protections is because they never intended to protect the human family. They never protected the dignity of men, the dignity of the unborn child. And so they’re not going to protect our dignity now. We have to stand as a united force, male and female. The feminist movement taught men to sit down and shut up when it comes to the rights of women. We actually need men to do the opposite. We need them to stand up and guard our protections because male and female unity is how we rule.”
There’s a saying that says religion tells you what to do, but God tells you who you are, she said. “And when you know who you are, you know what to do. And so my passion after I left the modeling industry was to reveal for women and girls their worth, their value, their identity and purpose, and then teaching them the truth of their identity in God’s eyes. So that’s all I do. I create books, Bible studies, and video resources, and we have an entire team behind us, which makes all of this possible. We have the, I Am a Woman podcast, which I launched when the word woman was attacked. And we have my latest book, I Am a Woman. In addition, we minister to girls with eating disorders. We provide resources for women in prisons and girls in recovery centers. So we actually really need more people to partner with our ministry to help make it possible for us to continue to go into the prisons and the public schools, private schools, recovery centers, to teach women and girls how to heal.”
