From Got Questions:
"Christian apologetics is simply presenting a reasonable defense of the Christian faith and truth to those who disagree. Christian apologetics is a necessary aspect of the Christian life. We are all commanded to be ready and equipped to proclaim the gospel and defend our faith (Matthew 28:18-20;1 Peter 3:15)."
For a more detailed article, Come Reason covers the topic:

The Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry (CARM) is another resource for those who'd like to research the topic further.
Another resource is the International Society of Women in Apologetics.
I have to admit after a brief review of some of the women (and other apologetic sites) I 'felt' as if my Christian life and witness was sluggish!
While we're not all called to minister in the same way; I do believe we are to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is within us.
Am I? Are you?
Note: I do not vet the sites, be a Berean.
