Abstract
This project entails a feminist examination of women's stories in the King James Version of the Holy Bible. I focus directly on the Old Testament stories, beginning with Eve in Genesis and ending with Vashti and Esther in Esther. I have engaged these particular narratives for a number of reasons. I pick some stories because of how their oppressive patriarchal interpretation defines womanhood. I choose some other stories because of the manner in which they have been ignored. I select some stories of autonomy because of their liberatory potential for contemporary women. I explore the emancipatory and oppressive narratives concerning women in the text. This systematic approach to images of women and the narratives of women's stories will enable a loosening of interpretation.
