This book meticulously addresses the issue of ‘Feminist/Womanist Identities’ & ’Biblical Hermeneutics’; and their mutual impact on each other. It serves as a humble attempt to understand the story of the Vashti and Esther in the Book of Esther, without any ‘patriarchal’ bias; to bring forward the true identity of Vashti and Esther; and to seek in depth the contribution of women in terms of the various roles they played in the society of their own times; and subsequently, to examine how these reinterpretations will enable a broader understanding of women in the society today.
