This work examines the lives of four female characters in the
Bible: Naomi, Ruth, Tamar and Esther. Their stories differ
significantly from those of most female Biblical characters in that
each woman is depicted without a dominant male companion and each
is featured in the Bible's more secular texts. The author evaluates
each character's role as a female protagonist, and demonstrates how
each story represents an innovative view of religion and a
revisionist evaluation of women's roles. Finally, the author
proposes that these narratives may have been authored by women.
Appendices provide additional information about Boaz, Judah and
Tamar, Greek versions of the ""Book of Esther"", Mordecai's decree,
and literacy in ancient Israel. It includes a glossary and
timeline.
