Women have played an essential role in human history. In the Bible, the most influential book in Western civilisation that has guided billions of people, she also has a major place. With the exception of the deity, the most important human character to appear is female. Many women stand out for their contributions to human beings as a whole (Eve or Mary); others have been decisive in the history of the people of Israel, or protagonists of the Old Testament (Deborah, Esther or Judith). This book will help you to identify the main protagonists and their different iconographic variants. You will be able to recognise them and find out the causes and implications of their representations.
