Ester Sowernam, an English writer who was born in 1617 in Europe. Sowernam was a well known writer as well as a feminist. Her journals were known to be about women's rights and how they are equal to men. Sowernam is well known for her biblical interpretation of The Book of Esther.

Sowernam interprets Esther's story in a way that allows her to prover her opinion of women being superior to men. She says thats Esther is a prime example of a woman that used her position of influence perfectly. She explains that sometimes women need to demonstrate their capacity to take direct action and use deception when necessary (HWBI, pg. 464)

Her involvement in her community had a roll in how she interpreted the biblical story. She was a journalist and a highly respected one at that. The career was mostly male run. but that never stopped Ester to climb to the stop and always write what needed to be said at that time.
