520    Over the past few decades, the roles women play in public 
       life have evolved significantly, as have the pressures 
       that come with needing to do it all, have it all, and be 
       all things to all people. And with this progress, misogyny
       has evolved as well. Today's discrimination is more subtle
       and indirect, expressed in double standards, 
       microaggressions, and impossible expectations. In other 
       ways, sexism has gotten more brash and repulsive as women 
       have gained power and voice in the mainstream culture.  
       Patriarchy is still sanctioned by every institution: 
       capitalism, government, and even--maybe especially--the 
       church itself. This is perhaps the ultimate irony--that a 
       religion based on the radical justice and liberation of 
       Jesus' teachings has been the most complicit part of the 
       narrative against women's equality. If we are going to 
       dial back the harmful rhetoric against women and their 
       bodies, the community of faith is going to have to be a 
       big part of the solution.  Erin Wathen navigates the 
       complex layers of what it means to be a woman in our time 
       and place--from the language we use to the clothes that we
       wear to the unseen and unspoken assumptions that challenge
       our full personhood at every turn. Resist and Persist 
       reframes the challenges to women's equality in light of 
       our current culture and political climate, providing a new
       language of resistance that can free women and men from 
       the pernicious power of patriarchy.
