Ghostwriting the Daughters of Men Women Who Went Before

    • History

We explore ancient Jewish fan fiction, why makeup made the angels fall, and the ever-present problem of ghostwriting with Dr. Annette Yoshiko Reed in Season 1 Episode 2, "Ghostwriting the Daughters of Men: Whose Writing Is it Anyway?"

You've heard of the human fall story in Genesis 3, but what about the angelic fall stories in Genesis 6, 1 Enoch, and the Testament of Reuben? How did the Third Sibylline Oracle try to one-up Homer? Does the male gaze operate the same way in ancient texts as in our modern world? And is the misogyny we find in ancient texts always misogyny? These questions and more!
Women Who Went Before is written, produced, and edited by Rebekah Haigh and Emily Chesley. The music is composed and produced by Moses Sun.
