@_nomadic_meg Adding to the Bible doesn’t sound like the right approach. I certainly didn’t need this to be explicit to consider that women may have authored them.

@_nomadic_meg Who wrote Ruth? Was it Boaz? How about Esther? Was it Mordecai? Yet the book was named after these women? Who wrote Hebrews? I have my suspicion it was Priscilla and she didn’t name her
