Summary
In this work, Francesco Cocco studies the legislation of Numbers which deals with laws featuring women as their leading figures. The prominent place of women in the texts studied is peculiar because all three seem to be at odds with the notion of female autonomy. In fact, though, the author's in-depth study leads to an unexpected understanding of the laws.
