Resumo: She is nameless and without voice, viciously raped and murdered. The story of the Levite Concubine or Pilegesh, as told in the last three chapters of the Book of Judges, is often referred to by scholars as an appendix, unworthy to be considered part of the pantheon of illustrious judges in Israel. However, the account of the gang rape and murder of a defenseless and socially insignificant woman is more than a story of violence against women. It is the story of consequences of violence and the power one woman can have over an entire nation.

A história da Concubina Levita ou Pilegesh, como disse nos últimos três capítulos do Livro dos Juízes, é frequentemente referida pelos estudiosos como um apêndice, indigno de ser considerado parte do panteão de juízes ilustres em Israel. No entanto, o relato da violação e assassinato de uma mulher indefesa e socialmente insignificante é mais do que uma história de violência contra as mulheres, é a história das consequências da violência e do poder que uma mulher pode ter sobre uma nação.UFRGS2018-07-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/7841210.22456/1983-201X.78412Anos 90; Vol. 25 No. 47 (2018); 61-76Anos 90; v. 25 n. 47 (2018); 61-761983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30enghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/78412/49016Copyright (c) 2018 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTracy, Elizabeth2019-05-29T15:49:10Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/78412Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2019-05-29T15:49:10Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
