MIRIAM

"Miriam's life had been one of service and leadership. She expressed all the robust qualities that are best: courage and ingenuity in dangerous situations, loyalty to her family, a love of music, storytelling and dance, and intellectual enquiry into questions about authority and social responsibility. She remains a model for women and men today," (http://www.womeninthebible.net/1.7.Miriam.htm).
