The one where women ignore the rules and act for the greater good (again) - Exodus

If you've ever wondered why women are terrified of being seen as selfish or why others judge women by how much they do for other people, you need not look any further than everyone's favorite two thousand year old book.  “We are so accustomed to the assumption that men alone form a nation, that we forget to resent texts such as these.” - Elizabeth Cady Stanton      Oh we won't forget Elizabeth. Especially not after reading the chapter in The Woman's Bible on Exodus .   This one has it all -- birth,  Pharaoh bullies, thievery, violence, circumcision, escape, laws, and even a mention of the Boston Tea Party.  Grab a cuppa and give a listen.Extra ReadingThe Woman's Bible Exodus  https://sacred-texts.com/wmn/wb/wb15.htm"How the midwives Shiphrah and Puah mock the violence of empire" https://www.christiancentury.org/article/critical-essay/how-midwives-shiphrah-and-puah-mock-violence-empireSend us Fan MailCreditsRecorded at Troubadour Studios in Lansing, MIAudio Engineer Corey DeRushiaEdited by Rie Daisies at Nighttime Girlfriend StudioMusic: ‘Shifting pt. 2 (instrumental)’  by Rie DaisiesExecutive Producer Kate ML RogersLeave us a voice mailHave some feedback?
