Dodds writes from a complementarian framework, treating gender as a creational and theological category rather than a merely cultural one — a position consistent with her Reformed, Crossway-published context. The book is specifically addressed to women and is best evaluated in that intended audience context.

A Woman Through and Through
In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it's hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called "woman."
This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ's mission and work.
