The book of Judges is replete with female figurations, and has,
therefore, received a lot of attention from feminist critics. This
volume of essays, however, changes the motivation behind this
apparent centrality of female figures, claiming that in fact strong
androcentric premises underlie the texts. The overall theme of this
sparkling collection focusses on wives, daughters and mothers, and
their relationships. An introductory section surveys the women of
Judges, investigation satire, paradigm and deviation and the
midrashic sources; Brenner and Van Dyck investigate the story and
song of Deborah; Fuchs and Exum turn their attention to Jephthah's
daughter; Amit and Reinhartz look at women in the Samson story.
Finally, three essays, including one by Mieke Bal, deal with the
brutal finale of the book in chapters 19-21. >
