| Title: Einige Beobachtungen zum Thema Frauen im antiken Judentum Secondary Title: BThZ Volume: 10 Pages: 77-93 Type: Journal Article Year: 1993 Abstract: "The restrictive and negative attitudes toward women displayed by Ben Sira, Philo, Josephus, and also other early Jewish writers may reflect male attempts at stifling female initiative. Much more positive portrayals of women appear in Life of Adam and Eve 15-30, ps.-Philo' s Biblical Antiquities (e.g. on Tamar, Deborah, and the daughter of Jephta), and Testament of Job 46-53, as well as ancient inscriptions that name women as leaders or elders of a synagogue or praise their learning". - D.J.H.
