Part II — Joshua to Revelation (1898)
Revelation
The Bible's closing visions, where woman appears only as symbol — the mother clothed with the sun pursued by the dragon, the prophetess branded 'Jezebel,' Babylon the scarlet woman. Stanton and Gage ask why the apocalypse needs woman for its images of both salvation and abomination, and Stanton closes calling for an expurgated edition fit for the young.
