Summary "Woman in White Raiment" by John Lemley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work aims to explore the lives of representative women in the Bible, contrasting their experiences with those of women in non-Biblical societies. With a focus on biblical figures such as Eve, Sarah, and Rebekah, the book presents an analysis of their roles and significance, highlighting the dignity and strength of womanhood as exemplified in scripture. The opening of the text introduces the author's intent to examine the profound impact the Bible has had on the elevation of women, particularly in comparison to their treatment in heathen cultures. Lemley discusses the deplorable conditions of women in societies where biblical teachings are absent, elaborating on various cultural practices that depict their oppression. Through this introductory framework, he sets the stage for exploring the lives of women in biblical narratives, beginning with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and illustrating the evolving status of women through the ages depicted in scripture.
