 The Biblical depiction of early Bronze Age culture up through the Axial Age, depicts the "essence" of women, (that is the Bible's metaphysical view of being and nature), of both male and female as "created in the image of God" with neither one inherently inferior in nature.Discussions of the nature of women are conspicuously absent from the Hebrew Bible.Biblical narratives do not show women as having different goals, desires, or strategies or as using methods that vary from those used by men not in authority.
