The Classic Woman's Bible, written by famous 19th Century feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a Revising Committee, is one of the first attempts by women to evaluate the Judeo-Christian legacy and its impact on women through history. Stanton concluded that 'the Bible in its teachings degrades Women from Genesis to Revelation'. However she and the other contributors found much to admire in the Bible, particularly some of the Old Testament women. While many of her views are still controversial, time and advances in womens' rights have lessened some of the shock value of this book. Stanton doesn't go as far as some modern feminist theologians and proclaim 'God is a woman', but there are several contributions which discuss the gender of the 'Elohim' and the female aspects of the Kabbalah. The book is very readable and entertaining, despite occasional references to now-moot 19th Century political issues (such as temperance and bimetallism).
