Stowe retells the lives of the Bible’s women, drawing on Scripture, history and legend: Sarah the princess, Hagar the slave, Rebekah the bride, Leah and Rachel, and on through the women of Israel’s national period to those of the Gospels. Each sketch weighs character, circumstance and the place of women in the world of the text.
