260 pp. 'This provocative collection of essays begins where Exum's earlier literary-feminist study, Fragmented Women, left off: with the questioning of the androcentric bias of the biblical text and with the aim of subverting its patriarchal perspective. It moves on to stake out new territory for feminist biblical criticism by considering what happens to biblical women in popular culture; in art and in film and by foregrounding questions about the ways gender interests affect interpretation and about the roles and responsibilities of commentators and readers.'
