Archaeological discoveries have increasingly brought to light
evidence of women's involvement in the royal houses of the ancient
Near East, yet such evidence has not fundamentally altered the
perception of monarchy as an exclusively male-gendered theological,
political, and social institution. Solvang's study assembles the
evidence in search of an integrated view of royal women's position
and power in critical functions of monarchy, challenging customary
assumptions about women's place in the royal harem. The historical
information serves as a backdrop for a literary reading of biblical
texts describing the royal house of Judah. Attention is given to
three women representing different royal positions: Michal
(daughter), Bathsheba (queen mother), and Athaliah (queen and
monarch).
