Synopsis
The red tent is the place where women would gather away from the men during births and menses. Imagine living a nomadic lifestyle around 1500 BCE, keeping time by the celestial orbs and the women stopping to assemble their tent. The Red Tent is historical fiction. Author Anita Diamant expounds on the silence of the woman Dinah in the story of Genesis, retelling and recreating a time period in Biblical history through the eyes of the women.
