While people often believe that the feminist movements in Britain and North America began in the late twentieth century, this is certainly not the case. Women throughout the centuries have sought to break out of the constraints that their societies deemed appropriate for them. For interpreters in the Christian tradition, this often meant examining biblical texts that had been understood in ways that demeaned women and using their interpretations to encourage women to break out of their culturally proscribed spheres. The essays in this volume are drawn from the Recovering Female Interpreters of the Bible Consultation at the SBL Annual Meeting and from sessions on female interpreters of Scripture at the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies. The essays address female interpreters of the Bible such as Eudocia and Anna Jameson whose publications have been largely ignored in the fields of the history of biblical interpretation and reception history. Through their publications these women used their interpretive and theological skills to break the boundaries that previous interpretations of the Bible and their societies imposed upon them.

Breaking Boundaries - Beyond Boundaries By Mary Wine Book 1 in the Breaking Boundaries series. In 2254, a fertile woman is worth her weight in platinum. With the future of the human race in question, death is the only sentence handed out to those who plunder Earth's most precious resource. Lee Tanner, commander of the Enforcer outpost responsible for guarding and protecting those women, will be happy to hand out that sentence. Tightening his newest command will eliminate the pirate raids, but it leaves him holding the first recovered captive in years. Strong and fiercely independent, Chenoa awakens the warrior within him, and nothing in the Enforcer's codes helps him deal with the fact that his captive isn't just a witness or a lusted-after commodity. She's a woman. There are forces in nature that never notice the passing of years. The advances in civilization have done little to dampen the primitive yearnings of male and female. But the hand of Fate touches whom she will. Love and the bonding of two souls will never be obedient to the dictates of policy. Lee will discover how far a man will go and how hard he must fight to protect what is his.
