Grace Aguilar (1818 1847), a prolific nineteenth-century novelist
and Jewish historian of Sephardic descent, was better known for her
works of fiction, but in this 1845 publication she addresses Jewish
history from a female perspective. These two volumes consist of a
series of biographical essays on Old Testament, Talmudic and modern
Jewish women. Aguilar identifies a need for more female biography
of scripture, postulating a continuity between the biblical
matriarchs and the Jewish women of her generation. Addressing a
female readership, Aguilar writes in a didactic and highly
evangelical tone characteristic of the period, using her historical
discussion to argue for the emancipation of Jews, particularly
Jewish women, who should also have full access to all Jewish
religious texts. This second volume focuses on Aguilar's latter
four periods of history. For more information on this author, see
