Description: Old Testatment stories center around men. Leaders, prophets, kings, and priests are all male. But hidden in the background are strong-willed, daring females. Each chapter is devoted to a single story with text complemented by sidebars, known in Jewish tradition as  midrashim,  that pose questions, provide more information, and include nondemoninational interpretations.
