A radical vision of complete womanhood, with Megan Madden

In a society obsessed with sex and increasingly confused about what it is to be a man or a woman, Megan Madden, an Oxford-based American author and mother, offers a radically different perspective about what fulfilled femininity might really be. Her new book, Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter, is based on years of studies on marriage and the family and reading the works of such distinguished Catholic philosophers and theologians as St Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St John Paul II, and St Teresa of Avila, asking herself all the time what it truly means to be a woman.

She shares her thoughts with Dr Gavin Ashenden in this 57th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for The Catholic Herald.
