| Summary: | This book offers a corrective to one of the problematic aspects of feminist hermeneutics: that the attempt to read within the Hebrew Bible a positive and affirming message for women can sometimes lead to a denial of the obvious fact that it not only contains a considerable amount of material oppressive to women, but is, arguably, responsible for much of the oppression of women that has continued throughout Christian history., Yee's alternative approach is to apply a materialist-feminist method to four significant texts—Eve in Genesis, Faithless Israel in Hosea, the two sisters in Ezekiel, and the Other Woman in Proverbs. |
