Course Description

Through the stories of women in Tanakh, we will begin to understand how the Tanakh, in contrast to the patriarchal context of the Ancient Near East in which it was produced, advocated a gender-neutral world- one in which women were respected, influential trailblazers. By looking at some of the midrashim about those very women, we will also begin to understand how their characters evolved over time, and the historical conditions that led to those changes.
