Before Easter this year, Rachel Held Evans camped out for the weekend in a purple tent she had set up in her Tennessee yard.

Makes me wonder how much of this year is motivated by the almighty dollar.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions. -

Re: A Year of Biblical Womanhood
Wouldnt she need to stop sitting on her own chairs at home as well? I would be interested to hear from her husband while she's doing this experiment. Maybe they make sure to 'conjoin' a LOT in that clean period

Re: A Year of Biblical Womanhood
does current technology make it easier for her to accomplish this (better materials for tents, better materials for cushions, sanitary napkins, etc) - and does that dilute what she was attempting?
