Nice picture browser feature to this page, Woodie. I will try to upload something in the next week.

I was looking at the Page Banner for NDN as a whole, and noticed that A Womans Place has a red background, while all the other pages have a black background. It got me to thinking about that book The Red Tent. Did you ever read that book? It's a fictional account of Deborah, Sara, Hagar, Bilhah, Rachel, et al-

If you haven't read it, The Red Tent has just a tinge of paganism or what patriarchs would call "pagan" religion. Imagines the Mother Goddess worship in the the Women's Tent during their partitioning for menses or their "moons."

It might be interesting to open a discussion of this book on "Just for Fun" if you or anyone else has read it, familiar with its maybe historical ideas about post-flood ancestors in the near middle east. My take on the many women of the Abraham-Isaac-Jacob tribe is that their voices are silent in history. We can only guess about what they spoke of among themselves in the Red Tent beyond the listening of men.

In the meantime, it would be nice to know what the site editors were thinking when they decided the page banner for A Womans Place should be a different color from all the other pages and spectacularly red and easy to find when logging in. Does it signify purdah?
