Who doesn't love a sturdy woman? We imagine they were beloved before the book of Ruth made them holy, but boy did that bible chapter seal the deal. Greatest PR campaign for the selfless busy lady archetype, rivaled only by, maybe, the Marlboro Man. Join us for this lively episode where we discuss what the victorian feminists discussed about the book of Ruth. Double discussion! Ruth is one of only two books in the whole bible titled with a woman's name (the other one is Esther). You'll see how as long as you're willing to give up your beliefs and entire life, you too can work on a rich guy's farm.
