Defiant: What the Women of Exodus Teach Us about Freedom Astrophotography and Lois's Original Plum TorteThere would be no Moses, no crossing of the Red Sea, no story of breaking the chains of slavery if it weren't for the women in the Exodus narrative. Women on both sides of the Nile exhibited a subversive strength resisting Pharaoh and leading an entire people to freedom.
