In Vashti's Victory, Gill examines and discusses six Bible stories of women who rebelled against oppression in order to have God's work made manifest in the world. Using the "Justice Reading Strategy" she employed in her book Daughters of Dignity: African Women of the Bible and the Virtues of Black Womanhood (The Pilgrim Press, 2000), Gill goes beyond the biblical narratives that direct attention to the primarily male leaders, and instead focuses on a more holistic view of the story -- a view that seeks discernment about God's purpose in the narrative rather than the human preoccupation with heroes and heroines.
