Jezebel: The Untold Story Of The Bible's Harlot Queen by Lesley Hazleton

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

Even though it makes me very angry about all the lies that were presented to me as cold hard facts in my youth, Lesley Hazleton never fails to open this skeptic's eyes even wider. Men writing with agendas will always turn the "facts" to their favor - and they will consistently slur and belittle women to do it. 

And holy crap! When biblical stories of intrigue and power aren't disguised in self-serving and often archaic language - you realize where Shakespeare and the writers of Game of Thrones got their ideas.
