The contributions show a 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. * Interpretation *

The contributions show a 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. * Interpretation * The book amply demonstrates the pervasiveness of female presences in exilic and postexilic texts and offers fresh insights into why that is so and why attention to issues of gender is so fruitful. * Review of Biblical Literature * There is significant resonance among the eight chapters of this compelling book. * Journal of Theological Studies *
