ABOUT BERNADETTE'S WORK
Bernadette Brooten is a scholar who provides fresh interpretations of the patterns of power, social structure, and morality in ancient communities.
Brooten has been instrumental in redefining the histories of ancient Jewish women and love relations between women in ancient times. In her work, she revisits ancient Mediterranean documents, and unearths such obscure sources as papyri and ancient astrological and medical texts. Her first book, Women Leaders in the Ancient Synagogue: Inscriptional Evidence and Background Issues (1982), was a carefully researched demonstration of the ways in which women took leadership roles in Jewish communities, challenging established beliefs about women’s roles in biblical times. Her book, Love Between Women (1996), is a milestone in studies of gender and sexuality.
BIOGRAPHY

Brooten received a B.A. (1971) from Portland State University, and a Ph.D. (1982) from Harvard University.
