Educational. And don't get me wrong, some of Olsen's byuspeeches are my favorites. But I feel like the book played favorites and left out a lot of people I wanted to know about(Ruth, Esther, Rahab). Also I felt like there were a lot of blondes... And, don't get me wrong, I love blondes. But I'm pretty sure that everyone in the Old Testament wasn't blonde and, if they were, their hair/appearance was a bit more gritty than that. :) ( )

This is a basic presentation of some of the Women of the Old Testament; their roles and positions in society during the time they lived; and, how they influenced the events of their time. I bought it for the art mostly - Elspeth Young renders her subjects with cultural accuracy as well as sensitivity to each women as a unique individual. ( )
