The Hebrew Bible's fascinating narratives about women have
occasioned some of the most important biblical scholarship of the
last generation. Lillian Klein contributes to that wealth with her
absorbing studies of key figures in the narrative material:
Deborah, Jephtha's daughter, Delilah, Jael, the whore of Gaza,
Kaleb's daughter Achsah, Hannah, Esther, the wife of Job, David's
wife Michal, and Bathsheba. With a marvelous eye for the telling
detail -- or its absence -- Klein examines the biblical portraits,
often unfortunately brief, of these women and the dynamics of
gender, power, and honor at work in their stories.
A remarkably lucid and careful scholar, Klein has surfaced the
underlying and ironic ideals of womanhood in a society that both
honored and marginalized women in stories of seduction and rivalry,
deviation and obedience, public shame and private power.
