Men got the whole bible, and all women got was this red tent
The actual tent, where Dinah and the four wives of Jacob would go during their periods and childbirth, is a place for laughing about the follies of men while still being subjugated to their will. Genesis chapter 34.
The red tent in modern times, it represents the symbolism of empowerment towards women. It represenrs the strenght of women and how they are capable of being independent.
I had an opportunity to read a book written by Anita Diamant published in 1997, that gave us a story of women who come together in a mensttual hunt known as The Red Tent. The book is presented through Dinah's eyes and those of rhe women around her.
In the month of November, SHEroes of Africa will start a new series called The Red Tent Series which will be online series where women will talk about things that we never talk about.
Don't miss out on this new series.
