She seems unaware or unfazed by the truth of her own female life, the truth about women in general, the way women and the feminine have been wounded, devalued, and limited within culture, churches, and families. She cannot see the wound or feel the pain. She has never acknowledged, much less confronted, sexism within the church, biblical interpretations, or Christian doctrine. Okay, so women have been largely missing from positions of church power, we’ve been silenced and relegated to positions of subordination by biblical interpretations and doctrine, and God has been represented to us as exclusively male. So what? The woman in Deep Sleep is oblivious to the psychological and spiritual impact this has had on her. Or maybe she has some awareness of it all but keeps it sequestered nicely in her head, rarely allowing it to move down into her heart or into the politics of her spirituality.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sue Monk Kidd" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sue-monk-kidd/a-woman-in-deep-sleep-is-one-who-goes-about-in-an-unconscious-state/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9a/sue-monk-kidd-404_deep_a-woman-in-deep-sleep-is-one-who-goes-ab_899542.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9a/sue-monk-kidd-404_deep_a-woman-in-deep-sleep-is-one-who-goes-ab_899542.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a9a/sue-monk-kidd-404_deep_a-woman-in-deep-sleep-is-one-who-goes-ab_899542.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“A woman in Deep Sleep is one who goes about in an unconscious state.
