'My name means nothing to you. My memory is dust. This is not your fault or mine. The chain connecting mother to daughter was broken and the word passed to the keeping of men, who had no way of knowing. That is why I became a footnote, my story a brief detour between the well-known history of my father Jacob, and the celebrated chronicle of Joseph, my brother. Lost to the history by the chronicles of men, here at last is the dazzling story of Dinah, Jacob's only daughter in the Book of Genesis. Moving panoramically from Mesopotamia to Canaan to Egypt, The Red Tent is robustly narrated by Dinah, from her upbringing by the four wives of Jacob, to her growth into one of the most influential women of her time. Seeking to preserve not only her own remarkable experiences but those of a long-ago era of womanhood left largely undocumented by the original male scribes and later Biblical scholars, Dinah breaks a male silence that has lasted for centuries, revealing the ancient origins of many contemporary religious practices and sexual politics. The result is a beautiful, thought-provoking novel.

This book pointedly reveals the plight of the zwomen in historical Israel and the surrounding territories. Another point made was the worship practices of the time including sacrificial offerings and practices,

The Red Tent
I have referred it to half doz others and every one compliments. We are studying the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament and this book fits right in giving a glimpse of the way the women of this period may have lived.

Fascinating book: THE RED TENT
Read this book for a small study group. Found it fascinating with significant correlation to the Biblical account. Shed light on middle east life and ancient times. HIghly believable and a great read.

worth the read
This was a beautifully written book worth reading. I couldn't put it down. Not only would I recommend it I shared it with my
daughter and daughter-in-law.
We all read it within a week.
