Sandra Glahn is the author of “Vindicating the Vixens,” which looks at women of the Bible who have been wrongly sexualized and portrayed narrowly by many narratives. Sandra grew up believing that women exist for a singular purpose: to marry and raise a family. She describes the moments and women (women in the Bible especially!) that shifted her mindset to appreciating the skill, strength, and broad purposes for women.
