“And Rachel Stole the Idols has commendable grounding in biblical and rabbinic sources; by bridging these classic sources, modern uses of them, and contemporary feminist theory, Zierler brings to English readers a sense of the profoundly polyphonic, intertextual richness of Hebrew poetry.”
—Naomi Sokoloff, University of Washington
“Zierler shows how a number of talented female poets and writers took control of the language of Hebrew literary culture and impressed on it their own feminine (and sometimes feminist) styles, values, and images. With many original translations and a stimulating combination of Jewish literary and feminist scholarship, And Rachel Stole the Idols is an important contribution to the growing and diverse field of Jewish women’s studies.”
