"You will forget your ancient shame": the innocence of Susanna and the vindication of Israel Jennie Grillo The ones returning: Ruth, Naomi, and social negotiation in the post-exilic period Danna Nolan Fewell Challenged boundaries: gender and the other in periods of crisis Lawrence M. Wills Sister save us: the matriarchs as breadwinners and their threat to patriarchy in the ancestral narrative C.A. Strine Gender and subjectivity in Jeremiah 44 Carolyn J. Sharp Familial identity and conflict through forced migration in Isaiah 49:14-66:24 Mark J. Boda Sleeping with the enemy?: reading Esther and Judith as comfort women Daniel L. Smith-Christopher ; "Judgement was executed upon her, and she became a byword among women" (Ezek. 23:10): divine revenge porn, slut-shaming, ethnicity, and exile in Ezekiel 16 and 23 Holly Morse.
Summary: "Notions of women as found in the Bible have had an incalculable impact on Western cultures, influencing perspectives on marriage, kinship, legal practice, political status, and general attitudes. Women and Exile is drawn from three separate strands to address and analyse this phenomenon. The first examines how women were conceptualized and represented during the exilic period. The second focuses on methodological possibilities and drawbacks connected to investigating women and exile. The third reviews current prominent literature on the topic, with responses from authors. With chapters from a range of contributors, topics move from an analysis of Ruth as a woman returning to her homeland, and issues concerning the foreign presence who brings foreign family members into the midst of a community, and how this is dealt with, through the intermarriage crisis portrayed in Ezra 9-10, to an analysis of Judean constructions of gender in the exilic and early post-exilic periods. The contributions show an exciting range of the best scholarship on women and foreign identities, with important consequences for how the foreign/known is perceived, and what that has meant for women through the centuries"--
