Invisible Women and How they Make History

Women Who Went Before - Podcast autorstwa Rebekah Haigh & Emily Chesley

We talk to Dr. Sarit Kattan Gribetz about history’s nameless faces, the news negativity bias, and how to raid ancient texts to find women. How were women named and anonymized in Jewish and Christian texts? When did bene Yisra’el mean "sons of Israel" in the Hebrew Bible, and when did it include the daughters too? What do we know about female scribes in antiquity? Who was Rav Hisda's daughter? And how do biases shape what scholars find? Episode show notes: womenwhowentbefore.com/invisibl...
