About This Book

The volume offers devotional biographies of women from the Gospels, presenting close readings of their roles and actions and drawing moral and spiritual lessons. It traces episodes such as the angelic annunciation, nativity scenes including the visit of shepherds and magi, the flight into Egypt, temple incidents, and responses at Cana and the crucifixion, and compares figures like Eve and Mary. The author reflects on prophecy and providence, critiques excessive superstition surrounding Marian devotion, and contends in an accompanying essay that Christian teaching has improved women's moral standing and opportunities for virtue.
