Drawing from the ancient tradition of midrash, the author brings to life the inner world and the experiences of these women, weaving rabbinic legends and her own imagination into the biblical texts.

Miriam is not merely a figure of song and dance, but also one of revelation, a source of Torah. These stories were written to give biblical women the honor they deserve--due to them as prophets, rulers, and teachers. The Introduction to" Sisters at Sinai" offers the rationale and the need for midrash - the writing in the margins - expressing how it can be liberating as well as deeply comforting.
