The Bible According to Eve Hadassah Alderson

The Bible According to Eve: The Women of the Torah retells the stories of the women of the Hebrew Bible in the first five books. It begins with a poem about the Eve of the books, moves through the story of Eve's loss in Cain's murder of Abel and the tale of Noah's wife to the stories of the patriarchs' wives of Genesis. It follows with poems relating to the stories of Moses's family and laws of Leviticus, Numbers, and the other books of the Pentateuch. Boldly told from an all-female perspective, The Bible According to Eve is a more exhaustive treatment of the Bible's women than The Red Tent or After Abel and Other Stories, on top of being easy to understand and a joy to read.
