Daughters of Miriam: Women Prophets in Ancient Israel Gafney Wilda C. Paperback
There are untold numbers of female prophets hiding in the masculine grammar and androcentric focus of the Hebrew scriptures. The rabbinic and Christian fathers analyzed and found more women in the scriptures who function as prophets than the biblical authors identify. There are women-prophets in the communities around biblical Israel, existing for hundreds of years and even a thousand years before the Israelite and Judean prophets recorded their messages.
Each of them is a daughter of Miriam, the mother of all women-prophets.Women prophets gave powerful voice to Yahwist faith at theformative moments in ancient Israel's development, and All of these female prophets have an intimate connection with the God of Israel; they express that connection by singing, dancing, drumming, speaking with and for God, waging war, performing miracles, exercising statecraft, and giving birth.
