Using a series of intriguing and suspenseful narratives, Woman at the Window explores universal female postures, responses, and language which underlie the collective feminine experience. Drawing from traditional Biblical readings and feminist explorations, this text offers a series of creative, analytical retellings of Biblical stories focusing on women's roles. The ancient tales are used to highlight the archetypal characteristics, forms of conduct, psychic reactions, and inner motivations of the contemporary. woman. Aschenasy's insightful and careful reading of the old texts, combined with the aid of modern perspectives on social and individual behaviors, genetic and environmental influences, and modern literary theories, help augment and deepen the understanding of the Biblical tales as well as women's roles within them.
