Daly, Beyond God the Father, 19; Judith Ochshorn, The Female Experience and the Nature of the Divine (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1981), 194–195; Esther Fuchs, “The Literary Characterization of Mothers and Sexual Politics in the Hebrew Bible,” in Feminist Perspectives on Biblical Scholarship (ed. Adela Yarbro Collins; Chico, Calif.: Scholars Press, 1985), 119. Marsman, Women in Ugarit and Israel, рассматривает в том числе и это расхожее утверждение феминисток. В своей объемной (781 страница!) монографии она убедительно показывает, что социальный и религиозный статус женщин в монотеистическом Израиле отнюдь не был хуже, чем в соседнем Угарите и других соседних ближневосточных землях, где процветали многобожие и почитание богини.

Обзор статуса женщин на древнем Ближнем Востоке см. особенно в: Tetlow, The Ancient Near East, passim. Согласно Тетлоу, женщины имели почти равные права с мужчинами в древнейших цивилизациях Шумера и Ассирии староассирийского периода; в Старовавилонском царстве статус женщин был еще относительно высок, но в более поздних племенных, феодальных и военных обществах Ближнего Востока (хеттском, поздневавилонском, среднеассирийском, позднеассирийском) этот статус упал, причем самым низким был в среднеассирийском и позднеассирийском обществах. Ср. James R.Baker, Women’s Rights in Old Testament Times (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1992); Carol R.Fontaine, “A Heifer from Thy Stable: On Goddesses and the Status of Women in the Ancient Near East,” in “Ad feminam: Fiftieth Anniversary Volume,” ed.

Beckman, “Goddess Worship,” 20, подытоживает ситуацию в хеттской религиозной культуре: «В сфере религиозной практики авторитет женщин был приблизительно равным мужскому». Что касается Месопотамии, сейчас ученые склонны думать, что права и статус женщин были выше (особенно в древнем Шумере), чем считалось раньше, хотя (особенно в ассирийском обществе) жена была гораздо больше подчинена мужу, чем в Израиле.
