This study argues that it is impossible to reconstruct a picture of the typical everyday life of women in ancient Israel using biblical sources alone. The scriptural texts were written by a mostly male, urban elite, while women of the period were mostly rural villagers. The author has chosen to approach the problem in a new way, complementing the biblical material with the results of recent archaeological investigations of village life and the insights of social anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach enables the text to present a more detailed and accurate picture of the way of life and status of women in biblical times.
