In quietly dazzling language, Women Clothed with the Sun engages ninety women from the Old and New Testaments, the inconspicuous as well as the more prominent: Eve, Lot's wife, Zipporah, Miriam, Judith, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, the woman at the well, the wife of Pilate, the women of Jerusalem, and others. Without a feminist axe to grind in the foreground, without pretension or piety, but fearlessly and enthusiastically, Dana Littlepage Smith has imaginatively entered into each woman's life, by turns boldly, delicately, sensuously, intelligently, always skillfully.
Dana Littlepage Smith, a native of Richmond, Virginia, has traveled widely and currently lives in Exeter, England. She has won a variety of prizes for her poems in both the U.K. and the U.S. She teaches in prisons, studies Chinese brush painting, and gardens. Women Clothed with the Sun is her first book.
