Review of 'Holy misogyny' on 'Goodreads'

I truly was enjoying this book for maybe the first chapter because it contained some references to historical information I wasn't aware of and found interesting, but with every page that went by the author's stubborn level of bias and dishonestly in historical research methodologies became more apparent.

She makes it clear that she knows nothing about theology, which (along with her ideological agenda) causes her to misinterpret nearly every example or document she attempts to reference. It's really a shame because I do think some of the information in this book is important for anyone interested in either religious studies or theology; were it presented in a different (and more accurate way) I'm sure I would be rating it four stars instead.
