Resistance, Resilience, and Remembrance: Flipping the Script about Jewish and Christian Women in Antiquity
Hybrid Lecture and Book Q&A
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.
This is a hybrid event. The event will take place at the Michigan League, Henderson Room. Please use the link provided to register for the Zoom option.
