In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to the enormously successful Seven Men, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas gives us seven captivating portraits of some of history s greatest women, each of whom changed the course of history by following God s call upon their lives as women.
Each of the world-changing figures who stride across these pages Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks is an exemplary model of true womanhood. Teenaged Joan of Arc followed God s call and liberated her country, dying a heroic martyr s death. Susanna Wesley had nineteen children and gave the world its most significant evangelist and its greatest hymn-writer, her sons John and Charles. Corrie ten Boom, arrested for hiding Dutch Jews from the Nazis, survived the horrors of a concentration camp to astonish the world by forgiving her tormentors. And Rosa Parks deep sense of justice and unshakeable dignity and faith helped launch the twentieth-century s greatest social movement.
Writing in his trademark conversational and engaging style, Eric Metaxas reveals howthe other extraordinary women in this book achieved their greatness, inspiring readers to lives shaped by the truth of the gospel."

“In these deftly written accounts, Eric Metaxas reminds us why each of these unforgettable women delivered such a bracing challenge to the spirit of their age, why each represents a unique profile in courage.”
Joseph Loconte
professor at The Kings College and author of A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War
“I was one of those who hoped Eric would write Seven Women, not only because I loved Seven Men but because I knew it would be a book I would want my daughters to read.”
John Stonestreet
President, Colson Center for Christian Worldview
“Eric Metaxas writes Seven Women with a tender brotherly love both in his admiration and gratitude for the women he profiles and with his challenge, to men not to overlook this book and a culture to reconsider its view of womens greatness.”
Kathryn Jean Lopez
senior fellow, National Review Institute
“The women Eric chose gave me more energy than any protein shake. This book will be required reading for my four daughters.”
Carolyn Copeland
Broadway producer, Amazing Grace: The Musical
“Metaxas's beautifully-written book answers the question: how can you change the world? The answer: find seven women, turn them loose, and watch Satan tremble in their presence.”
Owen Strachan
author, The Colson Way
“Eric Metaxas's ability to engage readers through the lives of these seven women will not only empower you, but will ignite a fire in you to know that we as human beings all have the power to impact the world.”
April Hernandez Castillo
film and television actress and speaker
“What we have in Seven Women is a great biographer, Eric Metaxas, writing, with his inimitable genius for depicting moral greatness, about the lives of seven great women.”
Dennis Prager
nationally syndicated radio talk show host and columnist, New York Times bestselling author
“Some authors give us words that are delicious to read. Others provide content that is good and necessary. Eric Metaxas consistently brings us the rare gift of both at the same time.”
Twila Paris
singer-songwriter and author
“Eric Metaxas offers a refreshing view of womanhood as he holds up a plumbline by which we can all measure ourselves. Faith strengthened by fire, courage to forsake personal comfort, boldness to take great risks, sacrificial compassion for others, convictions to liveand dieby, are just some of the common denominators of Seven Women.”
Anne Graham Lotz
author and speaker
“It's the rare male who can portray women so vividly. After his books on Wilberforce and Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas proves he's one of the rare ones with his new book Seven Women.”
Kathie Lee Gifford
Emmy Award-winning host of The Today Show
