Stories of Biblical Mothers Maternal Power in

Stories of Biblical Mothers offers a new look at an often unnoticed group of women in the Hebrew Bible: the biblical mothers. The author's insightful analysis gives evidence that women of the Bible are able to obtain domestic and public influence through their status as mothers. This work reassesses the position of the biblical woman, and acknowledges that while marginalized, nevertheless as a mother she is both honored and powerful.

Leila Leah Bronner, Ph.D., formerly Professor of Bible and Religious Studies at Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg, South Africa, has also been associated with various American universities. She currently resides in Los Angeles and devotes much of her time to writing and lecturing.
