Empowered, Misunderstood Biblical Women Highlighted in Xlibris Book

(PRLEAP.COM) The title of this Xlibris book is enough to create controversy and stir renewed interest in biblical conspiracies.

Bible Bitches: Acknowledging the Reality about Women in the Old Testament brings into focus the plight of noted female figures ranging from Sarah to Queen Jezebel, and links these to the alleged suppression of women in the ongoing power struggle between sexes.

Written by Teresa Ali-Olivas, Bible Bitches underscores her belief in the existence of a massive move by the Catholic Church to suppress females in society by placing them in a bad light. She cites how Sarah allegedly prostituted herself as per her husband’s (Abraham’s) orders, how Delilah was depicted as a harlot, and how Bathsheba was said to practice adultery – among others.

Bible Bitches also brings home the point that such oppressions against women continue up to the present. It stresses that the Bible actually tells the story about the “silence of women,” and that the patriarchal nature of the present-day Church allows this bias against women to continue.

Considering its delicate and controversial content, Ali-Olivas gives a word of caution to readers as she states that “the scenario written in Bible Bitches deviates greatly from the religious concept usually preached.”

After Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and its hinting at the suppressed existence of the “sacred feminine” by early fathers of the Catholic Church, Bible Bitches makes for a mind-blowing follow-up. It is a biblical conspiracy of the sexual kind.

Bible Bitches: Acknowledging the Reality about Women in the Old Testament is available online at Barnes&Noble, Amazon and Xlibris.com.


About the Author
Experiences of being second only to the male species have haunted Teresa Ali-Olivas even as a child. She observed how society has patterned the world into a male-dominated one, and she gave the Bible as an example of how this culture of female suppression was inculcated. These observations and musings of hers gave her the impetus to write Bible Bitches.

Ali-Olivas is a registered nurse connected with St. Joseph Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Apart from her personal observations, her three daughters and one granddaughter became the motivating factors for her to write the book.
