ResumoThe article aims to investigate the meaning of the thesis that may be extracted from 1 Esdras 3 & 4 : Women are the strongest. It acknowledges the problem that this proposal does not fit into the patriarchal view of society contemporary to the text of 1 Esdras, as the body of a woman was seen as inferior and insignificant. Using a Cognitive Linguistic angle on interpretation as well as the text of Judith as support, the article will search for deeper meaning behind this proposal and suggest a possible interpretation.
