Studying Gender in the Ancient Near East by Agns Garciaventura

A collection of essays on possible methodological and theoretical approaches to gender within the framework of ancient Near Eastern studies.

“This volume succeeds in the editors’ broad goal of moving gender studies in the ANE forwardThe editors deserve praise for organizing the workshops that led to this volume and publishing a collection of strong papers written by such a diverse group of scholars. One can only hope that the tools offered here will be adopted broadly and not only by researchers—most of them women—with a specific interest in gender issues.”

—Jennie Ebeling Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies

“The diverse backgrounds of the contributors allow for a range of fruitful discussions on gender methodologies and provide important reflections on the future of the field. This volume will have significant impact for those researching and challenging assumptions about gender in the ANE.”

—Karina Atudosie Society for Old Testament Study Booklist (JSOT)
