The Defiant Muse: Hebrew Feminist Poems from Antiquity: A Bilingual Anthology

Each bilingual volume in The Defiant Muse series includes 60 to 80 poems by both well-known and rediscovered poets, selected on the basis of their individual merit and as illustrations of the evolution of feminist thought and feeling.

This groundbreaking volume of the bilingual series includes 100 poems by over 50 poets, many never before available in English. From new interpretations of biblical and rabbinic literature to works by contemporary poets, this collection illuminates the tremendous breadth and diversity of the women's poetic tradition in Hebrew. Poems appear in Hebrew with English translations on opposite pages.
