Introduction -- Sara -- Rebecca -- Rahel and Leah -- Powerless Women: Dina and Tamar -- Miriam and Tzippora: Sisters-in-Law -- Deborah the Judge -- Ruth -- Chana -- David's Wives: Michal, Avigayil, Bathsheba -- Esther -- Addendum: Reclaiming the Heroic Jewish Judith
Summary: The Biblical narrative is usually very terse and cryptic. Over the millennia, Jewish scholars often painted a patriarchal picture with women 'in their place'. This book puts these women--some are role models--into the context of an ancient society, bringing them imaginatively from the sidelines onto center stage.
