Let Me Be a Woman: Notes to My Daughter on the Meaning of Womanhood is a 1976 book by Elisabeth Elliot that was published by Tyndale House in Wheaton, Illinois, United States.[1] The book is 185 pages long and is about what is written about women in the Bible.[2] The book also provides advice about marriage.[3] Elliot gave the book to Valerie,[4] her only child,[5] as a gift on the day of her wedding.[4] Elliot used the phrase "Let me be a woman" in response to Christian egalitarianism, which she said was "not a goal to be desired [because] it is a dehumanizing distortion."[6] Her use of the phrase in this manner in 1977 at the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas evoked considerable applause.[7] The book contains several stories, the first of which telling about how God brought two people together from across the world into a romantic relationship with each other because of their obedience to God's leading. Another story is about the murder of John and Betty Stam, Christian martyrs. A prayer by Betty Stam is also included in the book. The prayer asks that the full will of God be done in her life, irrespective of the cost to herself.[8] In 2003, Andrew Farmer of Crosswalk.com quoted a portion of the book in support of his argument that singleness is a spiritual gift that God gives to single people for the period in which they are single.[9]
