Wom(b)An: A Cultural-Narrative Reading of the Hebrew Bible Barrenness Narratives

In this book Janice Ewurama De-Whyte offers a reading of the Hebrew Bible barrenness narratives. Barrenness was the threat to female honour and the lineage's continuity. Therefore, the word "wom(b)an" visually underscores the centrality of the productive womb to female identity.
