9780567595034: Breaking Boundaries: Female Biblical Interpreters Who Challenged the Status Quo

Synopsis

Women throughout the centuries have sought to break out of the constraints that their societies deemed appropriate for them. 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. 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.
