This groundbreaking study looks beyond biblical texts, which have
had a powerful influence over our views of women's roles and worth,
in order to reconstruct the typical everyday lives of women in
ancient Israel. Carol Meyers argues that biblical sources alone do
not give a true picture of ancient Israelite women because urban
elite males wrote the vast majority of the scriptural texts. Also,
the stories of women in the Bible concern exceptional individuals
rather than ordinary Israelite women. Drawing on archaeological
discoveries and ethnographic information as well as biblical texts,
Meyers depicts Israelite women not as submissive chattel in an
oppressive patriarchy, but rather as strong and significant actors
within their families and in their communities. In so doing, she
challenges the very notion of patriarchy as an appropriate
designation for Israelite society.
