Sharing these stories together highlights several things:
the necessity of consent in relationships,
the importance of voices from the margin having access to individuals in power,
the reality of treating humans as resources and commodities, a practice that continues today,
the power of using your influence to advocate for marginalized people, and
the importance of honesty and truth-telling in the face of abuses of power.
This isn’t a story of two meek women, pushed to the side. In this book, they are lifted up for their uses of power, one met with hostility and one met with acceptance. There are themes that are still prevalent in our world today, which means these ancient stories are still relevant, helping guide us in how we interact with and treat one another.
