"After Eve, who is the next woman named in the Bible?" asks editor Tom Lombardo in his Introduction. In she: robed and wordless, Lou Ella Hickman-a widely published poet and Catholic nun-invites us to listen to the words of the women in the Bible, who encountered grace and sins, joys and sorrows, life and death. With empathy and language, Hickman opens up for us what might have transpired in the minds and hearts of these women.
