Women in white raiment

"Woman in White Raiment" by John Lemley is a historical study from the late 1800s that looks at women in the Bible and compares their lives to women in cultures without the Bible. The book examines important women in the Bible like Eve, Sarah, and Rebekah, showing their importance. It argues that the Bible has greatly helped improve the lives and status of women, especially when compared to societies where women faced oppression and low status, further discussing examples of the challenging situations for women in cultures that lacked Biblical teachings. It starts with Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden and covers how women's roles changed over time in the Bible.
