What does it mean to be a virtuous woman? What makes one a virtuous woman in these days vs the old, biblical days?

I’ll make the obvious answer.
A virtuous woman is a woman who attempts to live a life of virtue. A woman who is prudent, who seeks justice, who practices restraint, a woman of courage or fortitude and a woman full of faith, hope, and love. I’m not saying a virtuous woman must be perfect in these things but that she seeks them.

It’s pretty much the same thing. A virtuous woman practices the virtues (I’m sure you know these, like prudence, temperance, fortitude) and does not practice vices (these also I’m sure you know like greed, anger, sloth, gluttony).What does it mean to be a virtuous woman?

Read proverbs 31 for an example -verses 10-31–of a virtuous woman. Really, it’s the same today --a virtuous woman loves her husband and family, lives justly, doesn’t overconsume, cares for others.

There’re some sermons and conferences on virtues worth listening to with a notepad. If you take notes and think about the various virtues you’ll benefit.
After all there are far more virtues than simply the key seven.
Circumspection, caution, understanding, piety, sacrifice, obedience, truthfulness, meekness, humility, honestia, gratitude, patience, perseverance. . .
If you know the virtues well you will be immediately able to understand people better in a spiritual way, and why they act in various ways and where they are failing and where they are not.
