RELIGION Meet Me at the Well: The Girls and Women of the Bible

Jane Yolen, Barbara Diamond Goldin

This collection revisits heroines from the Old Testament, whose stories are often overshadowed by male leaders, prophets, kings, and priests. Each chapter is devoted to one story about a girl or woman. Retellings are joined by original poems and imagined voices for the subjects. Sidebars called midrashim pose questions, add information, and offer nondenominational interpretations. Gouache illustrations accompany the text.
