Overview

Eve argues in defence of her actions. Mary insists she be recognized for who she is--the mother of God. And you can imagine what Noah's wife had to say about his grand idea. Mary Magdalen, Ruth, Delilah, and Judith are among the other Biblical women who also speak out."In this book the voices and personalities of women such as Noah's wife, Mary of Bethany, Zipporah, and Vashti are reimagined in an exciting and empowering way. ... As in her other works, Wind uses historical people, events, and understandings to build a truly wonderful source of feminist fiction. In addition to being an extremely enjoyable and thought provoking read, the monologues can also be used for audition and performance pieces. ..." Katie M. Deaver, feminismandreligion.com
