In the past, biblical women were often perceived only as marginal figures or reduced to their role as evildoers or seductresses. The renowned and multiple award-winning painter and illustrator Susanne Janssen has been inspired by the female figures of the Bible and created impressive portraits. They show great daughters of God - strong, indomitable, stubborn, but also fragile and sometimes absorbed in themselves.
The sensitive and thoughtful texts by Susanne Breit-Keßler, which are placed alongside the pictures, sensitively open up spaces of thought that allow us to recognise the women of the Bible as sisters. With all the burden of life and lust for life that we also feel today. Their stories are our stories. An impressive examination in words and pictures - with God's great daughters and with us.
