Publisher's Synopsis
The devalued status of women is one the first signs of moral decay within a society. The further a culture gets from God the less value it places on the woman until at last she is routinely humiliated and mistreated. This may take place in a number of ways: financial deprivation, physical attacks, psychological abuse and even (as was the case in the antediluvian word, and is once again the case in modern Western civilization), being swindled. This ungodly devalued status of the woman is against everything Scripture teaches about mankind; for man (male and female) is created in the image of God. To dishonor either entity of this union is an offense to our Creator.
