The Woman of Valor
Proverbs ends with an alphabetic poem praising a 'woman of valor,' worth more than jewels. Her worth lies in business savvy, management, and generosity, not just motherhood.
Valor isn't only for warriors.

'Man of valor' was a title for warriors and nobles. Here it's adapted for a woman who manages a thriving household, helps the needy, laughs at the future, and speaks with wisdom and kindness. 'Many women have done valiantly, but you surpass them all.'
