| Until the end of the 19th century women were barred to enter the academia. They expressed themselves in the arts or in mystical writings (see below). They had to struggle to affirm their right to preach and interpret the Scriptures. Only under very exceptional circumstances a few educated women had the opportunity to contribute as scholars to the field of Jewish, Christian and Islamic Origins.
| |
|
| |
| In 1713-52 Swedish poetess [[Maria Gustava Gyllenstierna]] translated the works of Josephus into Swedish, from the French edition by [[Arnauld d'Andilly]].
| |
|
| |
| In the United States [[Hannah Adams]] learned Latin and Greek from the divinity students who boarded with her father in Medfield, MA and published a series of scholarly books in the field, including [[The History of the Jews from the Destruction of Jerusalem to the Nineteenth Century (1812 Adams), book]]. In 1816 British author [[Frances Elizabeth King]] wrote a survey of women in the Bible.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1860s [[Charlotte Maria Tucker]] and [[Anne Mary Perceval]] in England and [[Henriette Elizabeth, Madame de Witt]] in France wrote educational books on Second Temple Judaism.
| |
|
| |
| The Woman's Bible (1895-98), edited by [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]], was the first work authored by women which openly claimed to be a scholarly work, and not a work of fiction or entertainment. Social activist and suffragist Stanton invited more than twenty female Hebrew and Greek scholars to discuss Biblical passages subjugating or omitting women.
| |
|
| |
| In those years the first female scholars were active. In the United States [[Matilda Joslyn Gage]] and [[Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer]] published books on the New Testament and Second Temple Judaism. In England, twin sisters [[Agnes Smith Lewis]] and [[Margaret Dunlop Gibson]] were accomplished philologists, unofficially affiliated to the University of Cambridge. They traveled to the Middle East where in 1892 they discovered the [[Codex syrus sinaiticus]] in the monastery of St. Catherine and catalogued the monastery's extensive collection of Syriac and Arabic manuscripts.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1910s, [[Margaret Elizabeth Sangster]] and [[Arnolda Constantia Eliana Gerlings]] in the Netherlands devoted their skill to the study of women in the Bible and the early Church.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1920s and 1930s, [[Mary Redington Ely Lyman]] and [[Olive May Winchester]] were among the first American women professors in the field of New Testament Studies. [[Mary Edith Andrews]] graduated in 1931 from the University of Chicago with a pioneering work on Paul. French poet [[Marie-Thérèse Gadala]] published works on her travels in the Middle East and on women in the Bible. American classical scholar [[Lily Ross Taylor]] also contributed to the field of Early Christianity.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1950s and 1960s, the success of books like [[Edith Deen]]'s ''All of the Women of the Bible'' (1955) and [[Eugenia Price]]'s ''The Unique World of Women in Bible Times and Now'' (1969) signaled that a new generation of female scholars was about to emerge. Argentine specialist of Romance and Hispanic Studies [[Emma Susana Speratti Piñero]], Italian-Argentinian Judaic Studies professor [[Lea Scazzocchio Sestieri]] and American writers [[Barbara Mertz]] and [[Ines Noble]] were among the first women to engage in Qumran Studies. More directly involved in the study of the Scrolls was French specialist [[Annie Jaubert]]. Her pioneering studies on the Qumran calendar had a profound impact also on the interpretation of the Gospel chronology of the Last Supper. In Italy archaeologist [[Margherita Guarducci]] led the team of specialists who worked at the rediscovery of the ancient necropolis underneath the Vatican where the Tomb of Peter was located, and [[Klara Kraus Reggiani]] published her first major contribution to the field of Jewish-Hellenistic Studies.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1970s, the presence of women scholars in the field has grown exponentially: [[Edith Deen]], [[Rosemary Radford Ruether]], [[Phyllis Trible]], [[Pheme Perkins]], [[Elaine H. Pagels]], [[Adela Yarbro Collins]] in the United States; [[Annie Jaubert]] in France; [[Clara Kraus Reggiani]] in Italy; [[Luise Schottroff]] in Germany; [[Raija Sollamo]] in Finland; [[Margarita M. Elizarova]] in Russia.
| |
|
| |
| In the 1980s, the publication of [[Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza]]'s ''In Memory of Her'' (1983) marks a groundbreaking contribution of Feminist Criticism to the study of Christian Origins. Women scholars are particularly active as specialists in in the Bible and early Christian Studies: [[Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel]] in Germany; [[Pheme Perkins]], [[Carolyn Osiek]], [[Elaine H. Pagels]], [[Phyllis Trible]], [[Barbara E. Bowe]], [[Adela Yarbro Collins]], [[Paula Fredriksen]] and [[Amy-Jill Levine]] in the United States; [[Vilma Gozzini]] in Italy; [[France Quéré]] in France. Many also focus on Judaic Studies and Second Temple Judaism: [[Bernadette J. Brooten]], [[Martha Himmelfarb]], [[Carol A. Newsom]] and [[Gwendolyn B. Sayler]] in the United States; [[Jacqueline Genot-Bismuth]] in France; [[Tessa Rajak]] and [[Margaret Barker]] in England; [[Marie-Theres Wacker]] in Germany; [[Clara Kraus Reggiani]] and [[Liliana Rosso Ubigli]] in Italy; [[Bilhah Nitzan]], [[Devorah Dimant]] and [[Rachel Hachlili]] in Israel; [[María Victoria Spottorno Díaz-Caro]] in Spain.
| |
|
| |
| At the turn of the 21th century, women are now a consolidated presence in international scholarship. While maintaining a special emphasis in women's studies and feminist interpretation, their contribution covers all fields of Second Temple Studies.

| |
| Until the end of the 19th century women were not allowed to have any public role in the academia. Educated women contributed to the field of Jewish and Christian Origins since the Renaissance as poets, playwrights, artists and composers.
| |
|
| |
| The first female writer to compose poetry on biblical subjects was the wife of Piero de' Medici, [[Lucrezia Tornabuoni]], around 1475. At the ned of the 16th century, beginning of the 17th century, painters [[Fede Galizia]] and [[Artemisia Gentileschi]] also revisited "biblical" subjects from the Second Temple period.
| |
|
| |
| The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry (1604) by Elizabeth Cary was the first original tragedy by a woman written in English and the earliest English handling of the story of Herod and Mariamne, based on Josephus. Great sensation caused in 1642 the publication of the ''Lettres de Bérénice à Titus'' by [[Madeleine de Scudéry]]; the French novelist reinvented the characters of Titus and Berenice as fictional protagonists of one of the most intriguing love story of antiquity.
| |
|
| |
| In the 17th century a tradition of visionary and mystical works written by women also began to develop, by authors such as [[Maria de Agreda]] in Spain, [[Jeanne-Marie Guyon]] in France, and [[Jane Lead]] in England.
| |
|
| |
| In the 18th century, plays based on Second Temple Jewish subjects were composed in Italy by [[Francesca Manzoni Giusti]] and in England by [[Mary Latter]] and [[Mary Eleanor Bowes Strathmore]]. [[Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre]] in France, Maria Margherita Grimani]] in Austria and [[Maria Rosa Coccia]] at Rome authored oratorios on similar subjects; in England poetess [[Mary Collyer]] translated the poetry of Salomon Gessner's Der Tod Abels and Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock's Der Messias.
| |
|
| |
| At the beginning of the 19th century, women began to be more actively and more commonly involved in publishing as authors of fictional or semi-fictional works of ancient history. Susanna Moodie and Chistian Isobel Johnstone in Scotland, Harriet Martineau and Annie Molyneux Peploe in England, Sarah Pogson Smith in the United States, and Delphine de Girardin in France were among the most significant representatives of their generation. Great popularity had also the visionary accounts of Anne Catherine Emmerich who like Maria de Agreda before her, focused on the lives of Jesus and Mary of Nazareth.
| |
|
| |
| In the second half of the 19th century, historical novels of biblical subject became a very popular literary genre and a much welcomed opportunity for educated women. Among the most popular authors were
| |
|
| |
| The invention of cinema offered women a new possibility of expression. [[Alice Guy-Blaché]] one of the pioneers of early cinema shot one of the first Jesus movies: [[La naissance, la vie et la mort de N.-S. Jésus-Christ (The Birth, the Life and the Death of Christ / 1906 Guy-Blaché), film]].
| |
|
| |
| ''The Poor Student'' (1918) by [[Elma Ehrlich Levinger]] is one of the first examples of educational Jewish plays produced in the United States.
| |
|
| |
| ''Dear and Glorious Physician'', a novel by Taylor Caldwell on Luke, was a celebrated bestsellers. In 1958 Wine of Morning, a biblical movie focusing on the character of Barabbas, directed in 1955 by Katherine Stenholm, was selected to represent the United States at the International Film Festival in Cannes, France.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Bronze Bow'' (1961) by Elizabeth George Speare was one of the top children's novel of the century.
| |
|
| |
| A Love Divine (1996) is a novel by Alexandra Ripley.
