''The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth'' is a book written by Beth Allison Barr and published in 2021 by Brazos Press, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

The New York Times Best Seller List
''The New York Times'' Best Seller list is widely considered the preeminent list of best-selling books in the United States. John Bear, ''The #1 New York Times Best Seller: intriguing facts about the 484 books that have been #1 New York Times bestsellers since the first list, 50 years ago'', Berkeley: Ten Speed Press, 1992. Since October 12, 1931, ''The New York Times Book Review'' has published the list weekly.
