"Oriental Women" by Edward B. Pollard is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the lives and societal roles of women in various Eastern cultures, particularly focusing on the position of women within historical contexts such as ancient Hebrew society. The text examines notable figures from history and literature while reflecting on the evolving status of women in that region. The opening of "Oriental Women" sets a foundation for understanding the role of women in ancient Hebrew society through the lens of biblical narratives. It begins by discussing significant female figures from the scriptures, like Eve, and the overall societal perceptions related to marriage and motherhood in Hebrew culture. The text provides insights into how various ancient civilizations viewed women, contrasting their roles across different cultures, and delves into the stories of influential women such as Sarah, Rebekah, and Ruth, each representing various virtues and experiences that shaped the identity and far-reaching influence of women in their time.
