Drawing on ancient sources for her dramatic and intimate retellings, Lillian Hammer Ross brings to life the inspirational tales of some of the most famous Jewish women of the Bible and the Apocrypha: Miriam, Zipporah, The Daughters of Zelophehad, Ruth, Abigail, Huldah, Judith, and Esther. Illustrator Kyra Teis has created richly evocative and stylized images. Each entry includes an introduction that provides historical context, and the book is supplemented by detailed notes.
