The Red Tent was written based on the book of Genesis, focusing on Jocob’s only daughter, Dinah, and his four wives. In the Bible, the stories of women were suppressed and the women’s voices were almost unheard except the time of childbirth. The author, Anita Diamant, wanted to revive the women’s voices and represent their hidden stories in Dinah``s voice. This paper aims to review the novel comparing it to Genesis. Firstly, I will reread Jacob’s marriage and childbirth in Genesis from the view of feminism. Then, I will listen to Dinah``s voice telling her mothers’ stories in the novel. The author changed Lear’s and Rachel’s maids into their step-sisters, and she made Rachel and Dinah as excellent midwives. I will explore how and why the author changed or created the stories of women of Genesis. I will also focus on the sisterhood of women in "the red tent", and on the women’s role and its uniqueness in the house. I believe that this feminist reading and writing will give the more insights into the history of the patriarchs of the Israelite people and the God``s promise in Genesis. In conclusion, the author tried to show that the God``s promise to Jacob was realized through women, Dinah``s four mothers, as well.
