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.

      Narrator Emily Ellet lends her gentle, compassionate voice to Meghan Tschanz's memoir/feminist manifesto, which encourages gender equality from a biblical perspective. Ellet channels the author's humility in the personal stories shared and the devotion expressed towards women's justice. She narrates Tschanz's transformative journey from college graduate to missionary to evangelical women's advocate with compelling descriptions and a tone of persistence. Both the research and the intimate anecdotes support the necessity of speaking up for women's rights throughout the world. Tschanz uses a benevolent but firm approach when addressing the injustice she has experienced in the Christian community and urges listeners to reflect on their own experiences and join together to respond to her call to action.
