Reading Judith 14-16

Judith directed them on what they were to do next. Her advice worked. The Assyrians fleed from them. The people sang a hymn of praise for her.

Denise Dombkowski Hopkins in Women's Bible Commentary lists the varying ways that Judith has been interpreted:  Femme fatale, female warrior, feminist heroine, virtue personified, lying murderer, saintly beauty
