According to the Bible, very few women were accorded a written book in the history of the Jewish nation. Jewish women were seen to be less active but Esther shaped the Jewish future. This responsibility fell to her because Jews have always seen women as more spiritual and open to religious ideas than men, and therefore as closer to God.
The biblical concept of obedience could be defined as humble compliance to God’s commands. The two sisters, Mary, Martha and Lazarus were friends of Jesus Christ. Mary was the one who sat listening to Jesus's feet. The Greek word for obedience involves listening or hearkening.
