Owning M.E.: Reclaiming the Image of God Beyond Patriarchy challenges us to examine the religious, cultural, and social forces that have shaped their identity—and to reclaim who they are as bearers of the imago Dei, the image of God.
Drawing from theology, biblical interpretation, research, and lived experience, Dr. Corona Barrow explores how patriarchal assumptions have influenced ideas about womanhood, authority, submission, and spiritual identity. She confronts inherited traditions, questions long-held interpretations, and invites readers to consider whether cultural expectations have too often been mistaken for divine intention.
Thought-provoking and deeply personal, Owning M.E. is a call for women to recover their voice, dignity, purpose, and full personhood—without surrendering faith.
To own M.E. — My Existence is to recognize that a woman does not stand outside the image of God. She bears it.
