On this International Women's Day, I commend to you this book, recently published, that takes a look at some of the women on the Bible. Some of them are named, some unnamed. In the canon of Scripture, all were presented through a patriarchal lens - and their story is diminished by the stories of the men around them and their framing of history. Attempting to recover HERSTORY, this is a collection celebrating their love and passion, their courage and conviction.
An extract from the book:
Giving thanks today
for all those women who paved a
way
and on whose shoulders I have
stood...
Those of the past and those of
the present
Wise women
Witches, hags and crones
Birthing communities
Birthing stories.
Birthing faith, hope and love
And blazing a trail for women
throughout the world.
