Our current culture has come to think of homemaking as boring or unimportant. The role of women in the home is largely undervalued. Bekah Merkle is on a mission to change that by helping women to own the beauty, creativity, and innovation within their role as homemakers. In our conversation, Bekah takes us through the history of how feminism has impacted the woman’s role and how we can begin to reclaim the importance of this high calling.
