The Bible does not say Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but some people today still believe that. What the Bible does tell about Mary Magdalene, however, is heavily slanted toward the culture with women considered inferior and men totally dominating their lives.

Produktbeschreibung
The Bible does not say Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but some people today still believe that. What the Bible does tell about Mary Magdalene, however, is heavily slanted toward the culture with women considered inferior and men totally dominating their lives. Attempting to write the part of Mary's story not told in the Bible, I still found clues in the Bible as to what is missing. I believe the major clue is Jesus himself. Jesus had not discriminated against women. Even though the discrimination would continue in the next two thousand years, gender equality emerged in the twentieth century and my lifetime. Through personal experience and women's history, I found reasons for it lasting so long, and you cannot address discrimination without touching on all forms of prejudice because they are basically the same thing. You will realize women's rights may not be permanent and women's diligence is still required today, as well as the protection of women's rights in future generations.

Autorenporträt
Almost a lifetime resident of Virginia, she was born in West Virginia and moved at the age of four. She still saw a lot of the U.S. traveling for her work and has been to Europe on vacations. She was a working mother while building a career with the federal government, and loved both positions. With federal workforce changes after Congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment, she became a spokesperson for women and it became a lifetime interest. She and her second husband, Bill Hansell, met on the job and when retired, moved from northern Virginia to make their home in a rural area near Williamsburg. She realized she had been writing all her life and enjoyed it, but had been mostly technical in nature. Feeling her Christian faith is always guiding her, she is writing in her retirement years by combining her faith, love of history, and as an advocate for women. She and Bill combined their families of her son and his three daughters and now have one grandson and three granddaughters. A member of the Williamsburg United Methodist Church, she is also on the Board of Directors for the College of William and Mary Wesley Foundation.
