"The True Woman" by Justin D. Fulton is a series of discourses written in the late 19th century. This work reflects the author's exploration of the role of women in society, emphasizing their position as helpmeets to men, guided by a biblical understanding of femininity and virtue. The discussions aim to elevate the perception of women, advocating for their rights and responsibilities in the context of family and society while drawing upon religious ideals. The opening of the book establishes a foundational perspective on the nature and purpose of woman as defined by God. Fulton references the creation of Eve to illustrate that women were designed to be companions and helpers to men, thereby fulfilling a divine mission. He conveys the significance of harmony in gender roles and stresses the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional responsibilities women hold within their homes and communities. Fulton discusses the implications of these roles, highlighting both the exalted position of women through Christ and the potential perils that can arise from discontent with their established societal place. Overall, the beginning portion sets the stage for a deeper examination of womanhood through a theological lens, aiming to inspire and empower readers regarding the contributions of women in various spheres of life.
