N1  - 1.  Historical background: Prophecy and gender in the ancient near east
2. Female literary figures and their social-historical context in the Nevi`im
3. Gender and metaphor in the latter prophets
N2  - "Both prophets and prophetesses shared God's divine will with the people of Israel, yet the voices of these women were often forgotten due to later prohibitions against women teaching in public. This latest volume of the Bible and Women series focuses on the roles of these women in what is known as the Former Prophets (Joshua to 2 Kings) and the Latter Prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Contributors employ innovative gender-oriented approaches to the exegesis of the texts, ranging from trauma studies to postcolonialism and beyond"--
