From Huffington Post: This Is How Many Words Are Spoken By Women In The Bible ~by Antonia Blumberg There are 93 women who speak in the Bible, 49 of whom are named. These women speak a total of 14,056 words collectively -- roughly 1.1 percent of the total words in the holy book. continue Clearly, the Bible was "written by men and largely for men" as Greg Carey, a New Testament professor at Lancaster Theological Seminary, is quoted as saying. This massive underrepresentation of women is an unfortunate legacy of our patriarchal systems. The bible, as we have received it, is flawed. We must seek every opportunity to bring forward the voices of women and listen to the divine feminine.
