Women’s Writing Project: Currently seeking material for a feminist bible. We are a collective of women inspired by the works of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and “The Revising Committee” of the late 19th century. Our objective is to rewrite those bible stories identified by The Revising Committee as being degrading toward women. This will not be a critique of Christian bible stories, but, rather, a rewrite of many biblical chapters and passages from a feminist perspective.
