Examining Athaliah as an egalitarian example
Linda Belleville (p. 52, Two Views) presents Athaliah as a woman who was 'head of state.' But 2 Kings 11:1-3 reveals she murdered all the royal family to usurp the throne (only Joash was hidden and survived). She reigned for six years as a literal murderous usurper going against God's clear desires. Using her as an example of an 'accepted female head of state' is deeply misleading.
