I saw the name Mary Pride and looked up information about her because it is claimed that she is the mother of the Quiverfull movement, a claim she denies.

Anyway, I ran across this link to an interesting blog, No Longer Quivering: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nolongerquivering/2014/06/mary-pride-denies-founding-the-quiverfull-movement/

It is incredible to read the thought processes of how women fall into this movement and how they are able to finally find enlightenment and leave this destructive movement.
