[Updated] The Feminists

Last summer I had the opportunity to speak on the topic of Biblical Womanhood at Cornerstone. It's a subject I particularly enjoy, but one I hadn't really explored from all ends of the spectrum. And by that I mean, I was very familiar with complimentarian doctrine, but had little clue how the other camp tackled the topic. I wasn't sold on Piper and Grudem's definition of feminine identity—arguing that Eve's punishment in the Fall reveals essential traits about women (shouldn't we instead look at the design and pre-sin characteristics of Eve for God's intention for women?)—so I started hunting around for other perspectives.
