About
Who are we?
We value friendship intensely, read a lot and very well, know the Bible and a lot of other literature, and have little patience for things like poorly-written women's devotionals or silly relationship gossip. Virtues like dignity and honor matter to us as much as a sense of humor does.
Now, we're all for men, both in general and particular. But we find it rather unfair that most of the women we can look up to and learn from are either dead or fictional, which makes it difficult to be friends with them. We hope to hit up Jane Austen, Dorothy Sayers, and Flannery O'Connor after we die (if possible), but in the meanwhile we'll just follow in their footsteps in our own unique way, for ourselves and anyone who cares to join us. Because while phrases like "sister in Christ" or "Proverbs 31 woman" make us roll our eyes and snort ungracefully, the reality behind phrases like that is more valuable than we know how to say. And we know how to say a lot.
Where did the name come from?
From Viola, of course. We love Viola.
This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, cheque at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practise
As full of labour as a wise man's art
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
