Daughter Zion, Mother Zion: Gender, Space, and the Sacred in Ancient Israel
Christl M. Maier
An exploration of Israel's use of gender symbolism in times of crisis. In this innovative work, Christl M. Maier argues that the way Israelites in the exilic and post-exilic periods spoke of Jerusalem as gendered space - a female city - helps us trace reactions to the crisis of exile and the emergence of a new national-religious identity.
