Lecture by Dr. Shayna Sheinfeld; Q&A with Sara Parks and Meredith J.C. Warren

How do we remember Jewish and Christian women in the ancient world? Are they merely passive, accepting what comes at them, or do they have agency in a patriarchal imperialist world? This talk explores several examples of Jewish and Christian women’s resistance—against patriarchy, imperialism, and even their own families—in order to demonstrate the diverse ways that women effected change in the world of ancient Judaism and Christianity.
