Trible‘s analysis of four stories from the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament through the lens of Second-Wave Feminism is incredible. She highlights the misogyny & theological questions raised by viewing these stories through the POVs of the marginalized female characters at their centers. Her writing is clear and engaging, and the text is understandable, even for someone who, like myself, is not a Bible/Hebrew scholar. 5/5 Stars.
