“The Anti-Mary Exposed: Rescuing the Culture from Toxic Femininity” by Carrie Gress
Editor’s note: Introducing “Catholic Book Pick,” a regular feature of recommended Catholic reading from Katie DeMoss, publicity director for Charlotte-based TAN Books and former reporter for the Catholic News Herald.
Building off the scriptural foundations of the anti-Christ, Dr. Carrie Gress makes an in-depth investigation into the idea of an anti-Mary – as a spirit, not an individual – that has plagued the West since the 1960s when a small group of elite American women convinced an overwhelming majority of the country that destroying the most fundamental of relationships – that of mother and child – was necessary for women to have productive and happy lives.
A powerful and eye-opening book, “The Anti-Mary Exposed” uncovers the gritty history of the radical feminist movement and shows how Mary, the Mother of God, offers us the antidote with her perfect model of Christian femininity.
“This book, although it engages in the heavy battles at hand, will not end with the anti-Mary having the last word,” Gress writes. “Gratefully, we have the real Mary who is present in the world, in our lives, and who is capable of the miraculous.”
