This paper explores what can be noticed as an important sub-text within Genesis, in what is revealed of the personality of Sarah and her spiritual development within, or perhaps in spite of, an environment that can easily be described as overwhelmingly sexist, patriarchal and occasionally chauvinist. We can observe too some decorum, nonetheless, with regard to the treatment of women that were considered honorable, and Sarah definitely retains her hard-earned prestige as the story of the origins of the people of Israel is brought to its conclusion. 19 pgs. 28 f/c. 14b.
