Why Jephthah's Daughter Weeps
"Why does Jephthah's daughter weep? Readers have creatively imagined the causes of her tears as she weeps upon her betulim-usually translated virginity or maidenhood. But her menstrual cycle's relation to these terms is rarely mentioned. A child-oriented theoretical and methodological foundation and research with post-menarcheal girls provide new answers to oft-raised questions about Bat-Yiphtach's weeping and her agency. Through an in-depth philological review and a focus on the "excluded middle" of the child-adult binary, this translation and interpretation of the story contribute to the field of childhood studies and shows that menarche and menstruation play a larger role in the narrative than readers have realized"--
Why Jephthah's Daughter Weeps
Why does Jephthah’s daughter weep? This new child-oriented reading reveals that a complex mix of emotional, familial, socio-cultural, and sexual consequences of menarche and menstruation lies behind her tears. There’s more blood flowing in this Judges story than you’ve likely imagined!

The Life of Margaret Alice Murray
The Life of Margaret Alice Murray: A Woman’s Work in Archaeology is the first book-length biography of Margaret Alice Murray (1863–1963), one of the first women to practice archeology. Despite Murray’s numerous professional successes, her career has received little attention because she has been overshadowed by her mentor, Sir Flinders Petrie. This oversight has obscured the significance of her career including her fieldwork, the students she trained, her administration of the pioneering Egyptology Department at University College London (UCL), and her published works. Rather than focusing on Murray’s involvement in Petrie’s archaeological program, Kathleen L. Sheppard treats Murray as a practicing scientist with theories, ideas, and accomplishments of her own. This book analyzes the life and career of Margaret Alice Murray as a teacher, excavator, scholar, and popularizer of Egyptology, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and more. Sheppard also analyzes areas outside of Murray’s archaeology career, including her involvement in the suffrage movement, her work in folklore and witchcraft studies, and her life after her official retirement from UCL.
Mord på en kvinde
Skelettet af en ung kvinde bliver fundet nær Themsen i den lille fredelige by Westlaugh Island, og kriminalassistent Mercer kaldes straks ud til gerningsstedet. Men hvad der ved første øjekast ligner en rutinemæssig og ligetil efterforskning, viser sig hurtigt at være mere kompliceret end som så. For flere unge kvinder er forsvundet i Westlaugh Island de seneste år, og sporene fører i mange forskellige retninger. Lidt efter lidt opdager Mercer, at landsbyen rummer mange ubehagelige hemmeligheder. Michael Gilbert (1912-2006) var en britisk advokat og forfatter. Han debuterede i 1947 og udgav sidenhen hele 30 romaner og en lang række noveller. På trods af sin succes som forfatter fortsatte han sit arbejde som advokat frem til sin pension. Han blev kendt for at skrive sine romaner i toget fra sit hjem i Kent til sin arbejdsplads i Lincoln’s Inn. Selv sagde han, at denne rutine tillod ham at udføre to jobs og samtidig dedikere aftener og weekender til familien. Gilbert blev i 1994 tildelt en ærespris for sit forfatterskab af Crime Writers Association
