LIKE RESTLESS MODERN EVES! Did Ellen G. White predict the Woman's Liberation Movement and Women in the Workplace?
Using the power of influence in a wrong direction, many modern women— thinking to advance their position, and climb higher then their sphere— are actually travelling backward at a high-rate of speed.
A footnote from this afternoon’s meeting.
It appears the truth of Eves “appetite,” is that it was mainly raw ambition— an appetite for liberation from the kitchen— in that she hungered to get herself into a higher sphere, one higher than that to which she had been appointed.
“The sin of this age is disregard of God's express commands. The power of influence in a wrong direction is very great. Eve had all that her wants required. There was nothing lacking to make her happy, but intemperate appetite desired the fruit of the only tree that God had withheld. She had no need of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, but she permitted her appetite and curiosity to control her reason. She was perfectly happy in her Eden home by her husband's side; but, like restless modern Eves, she was flattered that there was a higher sphere than that which God had assigned her. But in attempting to climb higher than her original position, she fell far below it. This will most assuredly be the result with the Eves of the present generation if they neglect to cheerfully take up their daily life duties in accordance with God's plan.” Testimonies for the Church Volume 3, page 483.
You should easily be able to see here that Ellen G. White is predicting the Woman’s Liberation movement, and the modern phenomena of women-in-the-workplace— those who enter into the man’s world, and outsource the keeping of their children and home to people they barely know, if they are even married at all.
