Can we really say for sure that Bathsheba was the first woman David lusted after? Or that the occasion that triggered off the chain of calamities was his first (one) time of spying at her nakedness while she bathed at that place? Isn't it also likely that the pretty lady actually flaunted herself in that manner hoping that the king would notice her? Which woman no wan be first lady? What of Mr. & Mrs. Ananias? Could that have been their first lie? I am inclined to viewing these situations from the perspective of "everyday for the thief, one day for the owner." We can ponder on this while discussing witchcraft. Thank

The two passages I read were: “Leaders of the Civil War Era: Harriet Tubman” by Ann Malaspina and “The woman called Moses” by Walter Oleksy & Meg Mims. These two texts tell about the life of historical figure Harriet Tubman. Although the documents are about someone who actually lived, it has two different purposes.
Harriet Tubman was a very complex woman. She was compassionate, courageous, dedicated, and intelligent. Above all, she fought for what was right. In the first article, Leaders of the Civil War Era: Harriet Tubman, the author portrays her as a warrior, spy, and soldier.
On a cold night in the middle of winter, a weary slave ran across the field to the woods. There he met Harriet Tubman, the conductor, and the rest of her sore-footed but hopeful passengers who were ready to start the long, treacherous journey to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman, later called “Moses”, was a runaway slave who came back to her people and helped over 300 of them gain freedom.
to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Genghis Khan, much like the Hebrew Bible during certain points, regards women as objects. However, to write the Hebrew Bible off as fully misogynistic would not do the ancient texts justice. From Genesis to Judges 2, the Hebrew Bible objectifies women, uses them as scapegoats, but during certain points rises them to the level of highly admired Prophets and warriors. This essay attempts to explore the various undertones of femininity depicted throughout the Hebrew Bible.
Harriet Tubman was a spy for the US Army during the American Civil war. Tubman was known for her thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved families and friends.

Throughout history, there have been certain gender roles established for both males and females. For ages, many held the belief that women must fit a certain mold— good wife, housekeeper, caretaker, etc.,— solely based on the notion that "that 's what women are supposed to do". These societal standards that women are held to are prevalent in all kinds of literature, ranging from works from biblical times to the late nineteenth century. Through her novel, The Awakening, Kate Chopin shows a contrast between the characters of Mademoiselle Reisz and Adèle Ratignolle versus that of Mary Magdalene and Mary the Mother of God as seen in the bible. This contrast pits the image of
During the pre-emancipation years that claimed the beginning of Harriet Tubman's life, she was exposed to the experience of a circumstantial slave system. Enslaved in the Southern state of Maryland, just on the brink of the established free states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the wistful opportunity for escape loomed in the minds of every subjugated servant. As the Underground Railroad developed numerous stations, the chance for the flight to freedom suddenly became attainable. Freedom from a life of strenuous toil was within grasp for those daring enough to take the trek. Harriet Tubman, the slave-become-conductor was a revolutionary woman, boldly operating and redirecting the Underground Railroad to free hundreds of slaves from their
But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites; from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. First Kings 11:1-3 indicates that King Solomon had 700 hundred wives and 300 hundred concubines, many from lands of which God had previously instructed the Israelites to avoid intermarrying. God knew that such intermarrying would lead to the worship of false gods. Why, then,
Women in the past could be looked at as being inferior to a man. The Bible states in Genesis 1:27 that a woman and man was both made in His image. By his grace, female runners are capable to run 117 in a standard 8.4 minutes. This shows that times have changed because the Bible also states that women were not educated in the New Testament and were at the same level as a slave.

Beyond her incredible beauty, Esther was a brave and determined young woman, who took it upon herself to save her people from death by a spiteful and selfish person, who a personal agenda. When I think about the courageous and amazing women leaders in the Bible such as Ruth, Naomi, Sarah, Mary, and Esther. These are women inspiring, motivating and encouraging me to be a better person every day. As I reflect on the character of these women, one particular woman stood out for me, Esther.
The song of Solomon is a series of poems dialogue between a woman and her lover. The quote I have chosen is from the lover point of view to the woman. However, the lover is using repetition to describe how beautiful his wife was when he said, behold you are beautiful, my love, behold you are beautiful. He then stated that her eyes were like doves behind a veil.
The Bible is the sutra of Judaism and Christianity, which also is one of the world's most influential corpus. The Old Testament is a narrative historic book which recorded a part of ancient Jewish history. It uses myths to illuminate the origin of human beings. At the same time, some chapters including obvious patriarchal tendentiousness by degrading the status of women in leading them to subordinate to men.
