The Red Tent Summary

The Red Tent was published in 1997 and written by Anita Diamant. Anita was born in 1951 in Brooklyn New York, but she grew up in Newark, New Jersey until the age of 12, when her family moved to Denver, Colorado. She graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in comparative literature and earned a Master’s in American literature from Binghamton University in New York. She has been a journalist for magazines, and newspaper. She has written several other books, including the Jewish Wedding Now, Good Harbor and The Boston Girl. The Red Tent is a well written fiction novel inspired by the book of Genesis in the bible. This story follows the life of Dinah, an overlooked character from the bible, who is the only Daughter or Leah and Jacob. Jacob is known as the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. The book starts out with Dinah telling the reader about how

I think the writer also wanted to write this book because although Dinah is talked about in the bible, she is not mentioned much, and this brings a whole new perspective to her life.

I think the writer would have used the bible and historical information, to write this book because although it is fictional, she wrote the book to be believable and to do this she needed to have correct information about the culture during the period.

I think the writer did an amazing job at writing this book. I think she accomplished the goal of showing the culture for women during this time. The book was culturally accurate and had a great storyline. My favorite part of the story was when the women were in the red tent. I liked that the women were able to bond and spend time together. They were able to talk and relax during a difficult time of the month for all women. I think this was shown as a beautiful tradition in this
