Lecture by Yadin Roman
“Men wrote history. Women played a secondary role in the narrative”, writes Yadin Roman in his latest book about ten female figures in Jewish history. From the Asherah, the ancient mother goddess of the Israelites, to the unnamed Witch of Endor, Queen Salome, Sarah the wife of Shabbatai Zvi, to Lilith the Queen of the Night, the book tries to shine a new light on these outstanding Jewish women, which the historical narrative has tried to belittle. Understanding how the historians belittled women’s role in history gives us the insight needed for a better understanding of the historical narrative, then and today.
