Critics Review
“This volume succeeds in the editors’ broad goal of moving gender studies in the ANE forward. The editors deserve praise for organizing the workshops that led to this volume and publishing a collection of strong papers written by such a diverse group of scholars. One can only hope that the tools offered here will be adopted broadly and not only by researchers—most of them women—with a specific interest in gender issues.”
—Jennie Ebeling Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies

—Karina Atudosie Society for Old Testament Study Booklist (JSOT)
