Devil's Gateway. Mother of God. Apostle to the Apostles. From the Genesis story of Adam and Eve to the New Testament texts encouraging both women's silence as well as women's unconventional public action, the Bible--and its interpretation by Christian communities--has loomed large in shaping the history of women in Europe, the United States, and around the world.
