What gave rise to symbolizing woman as evil in the biblical
tradition and other ancient Near Eastern societies? Taking her
title from a Roman Catholic prayer called "Hail Holy Queen," Yee
investigates the history of this hostile tradition of
symbolization, including Eve in Genesis, Gomer in Hosea, Oholah and
Oholibah in Ezekiel, and the "strange woman" of Proverbs. Employing
a materialist literary criticism, ideological criticism, and the
social sciences, she investigates how this negative imagery crops
up in a variety of forms. Among her important conclusions is that
gender conflicts in ancient Israel could be deflected forms of
class conflict-the struggles between the king and peasants are
deflected to men and women.
