This volume gathers the writings of thirty-five nineteenth-century
women on the stories of women in Joshua and Judges. Recovering and
analyzing neglected works by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, and many others, Women of War, Women of Woe
illuminates the biblical text, recovers a neglected chapter of
reception history, and helps us understand and apply Scripture in
our present context. The stories of Rahab, Deborah, Jael, Delilah,
Manoah's wife, Achsah, Jephthah's daughter, and the Levite's
concubine raised thorny questions for these female biblical
interpreters - questions that they addressed candidly in their
writings. Could a Victorian woman use her intelligence to negotiate
like Rahab? Was the seemingly well-educated Deborah an appropriate
role model? Or did Jephthah's daughter more correctly model a pious
woman's life as she meekly submitted to the will of her
sword-wielding father? The voices collected in this book offer
thoughtful reflection on and responses to these questions and more.
