While people often believe that the feminist movements in Britain
and North America began in the late twentieth century, this is
certainly not the case. Women throughout the centuries have sought
to break out of the constraints that their societies deemed
appropriate for them. For interpreters in the Christian tradition,
this often meant examining biblical texts that had been understood
in ways that demeaned women and using their interpretations to
encourage women to break out of their culturally proscribed
spheres. The essays in this volume are drawn from the Recovering
Female Interpreters of the Bible Consultation at the SBL Annual
Meeting and from sessions on female interpreters of Scripture at
the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies. The essays address female
interpreters of the Bible such as Eudocia and Anna Jameson whose
publications have been largely ignored in the fields of the history
of biblical interpretation and reception history. Through their
publications these women used their interpretive and theological
skills to break the boundaries that previous interpretations of the
Bible and their societies imposed upon them.
