A close study of the narrative account of Dinah's rape in Genesis 34, analysing the influence of myths and misperceptions surrounding sexual violence and bringing contemporary accounts of rape into dialogue with the biblical text to highlight the 'silencing' of survivors. She makes accessible the nuances of the Hebrew text to a non-academic audience while still contributing to the body of scholarship on this story. Her research is thorough as evidenced by a sound bibliography and inclusion of the key writings in both commentaries and journals on Dinah.
