Deborah: An Introduction
Deborah has been interpreted many times throughout history, either through art or through biblical interpretations. In the mid-19th century for example, although the typical role of a woman was not expected to be in the public domain, they were considered however the moral keepers of their homes. The image of Deborah has never been a negative one, but there have been some who tried to play down her leadership role. Others who have written about her have praised her and the role she accepted, proclaiming that her role in the bible proves that God can call a woman or a man to do his work. The significant role that Deborah played is important for women from the past, present, and the future. She shows women that even through adversity, they can overcome and be triumphant in whatever they are called to do.
In the late 1940's France, Women were seen as influential beings. They influenced the work done out of the home but their greatest strengths as deemed by society were at home.
