Daughter Zion, mother Zion

gender, space, and the sacred in ancient Israel

by

An exploration of Israel's use of gender symbolism in times of crisis. In this innovative work, Christl M. Maier argues that the way Israelites in the exilic and post-exilic periods spoke of Jerusalem as gendered space - a female city - helps us trace reactions to the crisis of exile and the emergence of a new national-religious identity.
