In Eve's Journey, Nehama Aschkenasy traces the migration of several
female images and feminine situations from their early appearances
in Biblical writings to their incarnations in modern Hebraic
literature. Focusing on the evolution of early female archetypes
and prototypes, Aschkenasy uncovers the ancient roots of modern
female characters and traces the changing cultural perceptions of
women in Hebraic letters. The author draws on the vast body of
Hebraic literary documents to illustrate how the female character
is a mirror of her times as well as being a product of her
creator''s imagination and conception of the woman's role in
society and in fiction. The historical spectrum, provided by a
discussion of Biblical narratives, Midrashic sources, documents of
the Jewish mystics, Hasidic tales, and modern Hebrew works, allows
an understanding of the metamorphosis that the female figure has
experienced in her literary odyssey.
