Critics Review
“A wounderful weave of women’s voices that invites the reader to participate in a conversation both thousands of years old and utterly new”– Judith Plaskow, author of “Standing Again at sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective”This book is a masterpiece that should be in every libary.“– “Publishers Weekly”““The Five Books of Miriam” has the spin of the storyteller, the feel of the folklorist, and the wisdom of the scholar. All women should carry this portable Miriam around with them. This is a necessary, strong, and witty commentary.” – E. M. Broner, author of “The Telling”
