Okay, there is no excuse on the planet for that. There are Bibles everywhere. If you've never read Ruth and Esther (the only two books in the Bible named for women), go get yourself a Bible (I don't much care which) and read them. They are short. They are punchy. They survive rereading very well (and while the morality in each is questionable, not nearly as bad as most urban fantasy). I used to read them during meetings at the Kingdom Hall when I found the speaker too boring to live. My parents apparently concluded that it wasn't good form to beat a child for reading the Bible in church, even if she wasn't following along properly.
Go. Now. And then tell me what you think of them. Seriously! Won't take but a half hour.
